Fermium is a synthetic transuranic element discovered in nuclear debris and produced in minute amounts for scientific study.
Properties of Fermium | It is highly radioactive, exhibits actinide chemistry and is available only in trace quantities that limit experimental work.
Uses of Fermium | Fermium has no commercial uses and is confined to fundamental research in nuclear science and heavy element chemistry.
Isotopes of Fermium | Fermium isotopes are radioactive with short half lives; handling is restricted to specialized laboratories with remote techniques and radiological controls.
