Fermium

Fermium is a rare, man-made element with the symbol Fm and atomic number 100. It belongs to the actinide series of elements, similar to uranium and plutonium. Fermium is produced through nuclear reactions in laboratories, typically created when atomic nuclei are bombarded with neutrons or other particles. It is highly radioactive, meaning it emits energy as it decays, and it exists only in tiny amounts. Due to its instability and scarcity, fermium has limited practical uses, mainly in scientific research to study nuclear properties and the behavior of heavy elements.
