Copernicium is a radioactive metal and one of the newly discovered chemical elements. It was obtained in the mid 1990s by a group of German scientists in the University of Darmstadt and named after a prominent Polish scientist and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. This chemical element is extremely radioactive and toxic, it can be produced only in terms of a nuclear reactor and till now, just a few atoms of it have been made. Copernicium can be used only for scientific but not commercial purposes.
