A synthetic radioactive chemical element with atomic number 99, created in nuclear reactions and named in honor of Albert Einstein.
Named in 1952 by American nuclear scientists to honor Albert Einstein's contributions to science; it's element 99 on the periodic table and was first isolated from hydrogen bomb fallout.
Einsteinium is the ultimate tribute to genius—scientists named an entire element after Einstein, but here's the catch: it's so radioactive it barely exists in nature and was only discovered in thermonuclear explosion debris, making it literally born from the most destructive force physics could create.
