Leading the film is the film's theme: tells of rare metals, which are presented in Table D.Mendeleeva and which play an important role in the creation of materials of the latest technology.

Presented on the catwalk parts for jet aircraft.

One of the parts made of rare metal neodymium - it does not melt, the other part is made of cast iron.

Girl shows how easy the first of detail presented and how hard the second - of cast iron.

Lead is another rare metal - gallium.

This fusible material.

It melts in the palm of your hands from the heat.

Truck driver hits bus in the cold, but it has not lost elasticity, as in the manufacture of tires, synthetic rubber is added to it rare metal - lithium.

Conducting experiments with lithium, for demonstration of its properties: softness, lightness, water allocation in gas - hydrogen.
