Today radium has only limited applications in research laboratories, for example for the preparation of radon standard solutions, in neutron sources of the type Ra-Be, etc.

Possible use in radiotherapy of some cancers.

Radium was used in the past for luminescent painting of watches and other instruments, was used in toothpaste, cosmetics, etc. These applications are not permitted now because radium is strongly radioactive and dangerous.

What is the purpose of the Hawking radiation calculator and how can it be used to study black hole evaporation?

The purpose of the Hawking radiation calculator is to estimate the rate at which black holes emit radiation, known as Hawking radiation. This calculator can be used to study the process of black hole evaporation by providing insights into how black holes lose mass and energy over time through the emission of radiation. Scientists can use the calculator to analyze the effects of various factors, such as the mass and size of the black hole, on the evaporation process.
