Curium is very scarce and expensive; today curium has only limited applications: - isotopes 242Cm and 244Cm are used as alpha particles sources for alpha-spectrometers mounted on spacecraft engines to analyze planetary or cosmic samples. - precursor in the preparation of 238Pu and of isotopes of Sg, Hs, Cf, etc. In the past some other uses were proposed.

What are some important per curium decisions of the Supreme Court?
The correct word is "per curiam"; curium is a chemical element !
What color is curium?
Curium is silver. See related links below.
Is the curium a superhero or a villain?
Curium is a radioactive element named after Marie and Pierre Curie, the scientists who discovered radium and polonium. It is not a superhero or a villain, but rather a synthetic element with potential uses in nuclear energy and research.
Is curium endothermic or exothermic?
The terms exothermic and endothermic are applicable to chemical or physical reactions, not to materials. But because curium is an radioactive element, of course some thermal radiation is emitted.
What element is named after a very smart person?
Einsteinium, 99Es and Curium, 96Cu are some examples.
What is a compound of curium?
A common compound of curium is curium oxide (Cm2O3), which is formed when curium reacts with oxygen. Another compound is curium fluoride (CmF3), formed when curium reacts with fluorine. These compounds are used in research and nuclear applications.

What does the element curium smell like?
No one has ever cataloged a likely smell. All of the curium available on Earth has been synthesized by nuclear colliders, although some isotopes have very long half-lives. For a person to smell it, there would have to be more than microscopic amounts, and since it tends to bio-accumulate, there would be a serious risk of getting bone cancer from its radiation.
What is the density of curium?
The density of curium is 13,51 g/cm3. But in some books the value is 12 g/cm3.
