Uses & Benefits
- Currently known uses of Copernicium metal are limited to research purpose only.
- Its has very limited uses and its alloys are very hard and are used in the manufacturing of pen tips, pivots, needles and electrical contacts.
-
It is also used as industrial catalyst to speed up the chemical reaction.
