Brief Introduction

Moscovium (Mc) is a synthetic, radioactive element. Key details about Moscovium (Mc) are as follows:

Uses: No practical applications. Used only in scientific research.

Production/Extraction: Produced by bombarding americium with calcium ions in particle accelerators.

History: Discovered in 2003 by teams at JINR in Dubna, Russia and LLNL in the USA. Named after Moscow Oblast, the Russian region where Dubna is located.

Health Effects & Safety: Highly radioactive. Extreme rarity means no health data.

Price/Market: Not commercially available. Produced only for research.

Properties: Radioactive, most stable isotope Mc-290 has half-life of about 0.65 seconds, expected to behave chemically similar to bismuth.
