Curium is very scarce and expensive; today curium has only limited applications:
- isotopes 242Cm and 244Cm are used as alpha particles sources for α-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.
The element Curium (Cm) is named in honor of Marie Curie, for her contributions to the field of radioactivity. Curium is a transuranium element that was discovered in 1944 by Glenn T. Seaborg and his team.
Curium has 96 protons.
