We’re celebrating with some fun facts related to the number 38. Did you know that strontium, element number 38 on the periodic table, is a fascinating material found in everything from everyday products to groundbreaking science?
Toothpaste: Strontium chloride is used in some toothpastes to help alleviate tooth sensitivity.
Ceramics: Strontium carbonate provides a stable red colour and a durable finish in ceramic glazes.
Space: The radioactive isotope strontium-90 serves as an energy source in nuclear batteries for spacecraft.
Future Technology: Strontium atoms are used in experiments to develop quantum computers and optical atomic clocks – technology paving the way for future innovations.
Just as strontium contributes to smart everyday products and cutting-edge technology, we strive to do the same.
Thank you for 38 fantastic years – here’s to many more to come!
