# Jewelry. # Coatings for metals, so they do not oxidize. # Coatings for optics (also blocks moisture affecting glass). # An example of relativity (see the link below). # To keep platinum and Mercury apart (mild Periodic Table joke). # Used in the tevatron for both target and accelerated particle (because it does not oxidize in the rarefied environment of a particle accelerator chamber, no doubt).
