Lecoq de Boisbaudran
Emilio Segrè and Carlo Perriero
Discovery
In 1886
In 1937

Uses & Benefits
- Dysprosium metal is highly reactive due to which it pure form is not as usual as its alloy.
-
Thi metals alloy is used in magnate as it is resistance to high temperature.
- Technetium is a radioactive metal and hence it is used for medical studies and other research purposes.
