Description
An unstable radioactive element of the Magnesium family. Technetium was the first artificially produced element in 1927. Carlo Perrier and Emilio Segre made technetium by the deuteron bombardment of Molybdenum. Naturally occurring technetium is rare on earth, but in 1952, it was detected in the emission of S-type stars. It is used to increase corrosion resistance of Steel and, in medicine, as a radioactive imaging agent for the liver.
