Osmium is a rather rare and accordingly expensive element.
Thus it is of no real interest for macrostructural applications.
Interesting trivia:
- Osmium is the densest naturally occurring element (22.59 g/ccm). – See: Ultimate limits
- It's oxide is a (rather toxic) transparent liquid.
Ruthenium (same group) and Rhenium (to the left) do that too. – See: Oddball compounds
Osmiums group members are:
- Ruthenium – also a rather rare and expensive element
- Iron – tremendously abundant much less noble
- Hassium – The artificial element highly radioactive element (longest half live time 110s)
See: Artificial short lived elements
