"Based on samarium cobalt magnets, Sony introduced the TPS-L2 Walkman, the first portable audio cassette player in 1979. This was beginning the era of personal music listening, which evolved into DVD players and then MP3 players.

...the samarium isotope, Sm-153, is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis of the knee and other joints. The isotope's beta emissions penetrate the synovium (soft tissue) of the joints to about 2.5 millimeters and have a short half-life.

...samarium chloride taken internally in the proper quantity will combine with alcohol and keep you from becoming drunk."

Uses for Tantalum:


1) Can be drawn into a fine wire that is used for evaporating metals such as aluminum.


2) Frequently substituted for platinum because of it's high melting point and it's also cheaper.


3) Used to make chemical plants, nuclear power plants, air planes and missiles.


4) Because it does not react with bodily fluids, it is used in surgical masks.


5) It also is also used to make surgical sutures.

"Dale R. Corson, Kenneth Ross MacKenzie, and Emilio G. Segrè
synthesized the element at the University of California, Berkeley
in 1940, naming it after the Greek astatos (ἄστατος), "unstable".
Four isotopes of astatine were subsequently found in nature,
although it is the least abundant of all the naturally occurring
elements, with much less than one gram being present at
any given time in the Earth's crust."
