Historia
André-Louis Debierne, a French chemist, discovered actinium in 1899.
He separated it from pitchblende residues left by Marie and Pierre Curie after they had extracted radium.
Friedrich Oskar Giesel independently discovered actinium in 1902 as a substance being similar to lanthanum.

Användningsområden
Actinium is used as an active element of radioisotope thermoelectric generators, for example in spacecraft.
The medium half-life of 227Ac makes it very convenient radioactive isotope in modeling the slow vertical mixing of oceanic waters.
225Ac is applied in medicine to produce 213Bi in a reusable generator or can be used alone as an agent for radiation therapy.
