With a new study published in the journal Nature last week, for the first time, researchers have been able to characterise some of the properties of the element.

According to Redfern, the main use of einsteinium is to create heavier elements, including mendelevium. Due to the high rate of decay and radioactive nature, there are currently no other uses for einsteinium.

About Lenntech. General Delivery Conditions. The conversion of mass to energy in the world's most destructive weapons. If Einstein can be considered the father of the nuclear explosion, then einsteinium will always be the child of the bomb. That's quite a birth to come from an atomic bomb. That was Brian Clegg with the explosive origins of einsteinium.
Now next week we've got a very useful element with many roles in life, including multiple ways of protecting our health. It is also used in sunscreens, since it is a very opaque white and also very good at absorbing UV light. When UV light falls upon it, it generates free electrons that react with molecules on the surface, forming very reactive organic free radicals.
Now you don't want these radicals on your skin, so the TiO 2 used in sunscreens is coated with a protective layer of silica or alumina. In other situations, these radicals can be a good thing, as they can kill bacteria.
You can put very thin coatings of TiO 2 onto glass or other substances like tiles ; these are being tested in hospitals, as a way of reducing infections. And Simon Cotton will be bringing us more of the uses and properties of titanium in next week's Chemistry in its element.
