Osmium Compound
Osmium, one of the densest elements, is often alloyed with other metals to enhance hardness. Osmium tetroxide, a compound of osmium, is notable for its use in microscopy as a staining agent. While osmium’s applications are less extensive compared to some of its counterparts in the platinum group, ongoing research explores its potential in areas such as catalysis and materials science.
