Einsteinium is used only in highly specialized laboratories for research. It is an element that is found in the debris from hydrogen bombs. But, there are very few actual uses for einsteinium besides scientific research. One isotope is used in the calibration process of the chemical analysis spectrometer in a lunar probe.

It is not found in nature but is produced by artificial of lighter elements. All isotopes of einsteinium are radioactive, decaying with half-lives ranging from a few seconds to about 1 year. Einsteinium is the heaviest element to be isolated in weigh-able form. The metal is chemically reactive, is quite and melts at 860°C (1580°F); one crystal structure is known.
