3 Uses
3.1 Uses & Benefits
  • Curium metal is used to provide power to electrical equipment for space missions.
  • Rubidium's main application is in the glass manufacturing.
  • Rubidium can very easily get ionized and hence it is used for ion engines, but it is still less efficient than that of Caesium.
