@TheItalianPerson There are radioactive isotopes, but the most common form of gadolinium is not radioactive. It's used in MRI because the 3+ ion of it is the most magnetic material on the periodic table.

is it radioactive?
-
I just bought a chunk of the stuff today, 85g/70$cad. Its a pretty enough chunk, but the varying degrees of oxidation make some of it look like Europium.

Really useful, thanks:)
-
i wanted to learn about gadolinium but most the information you gave i had already known. i ask please remake this video with more information about gadolinium.
-
Get rid of that lame accent. I used to have one but got rid of it. Otherwise great video. Thanks!

@villainlovesjohnny What happened?
-
hey i read that book a decade ago. cool beans.
-
take one thermal vacuum bottle, fill it a little with liquid Helium or liquid nitrogen, on the inside top of the vacuum bottle put a strong magnet up top. see what happens when the Gadolinium exchanges temperature.

I actually have a 50 g sample of gadolinium, it's a dark-silvery metal. It transitions from a paramagnetic to a ferromagnetic metal at 292 K, so it's fun to put it in the freezer and later put a fridge magnet on it! As usual, another A+ video.
I use Gadolinium in Nuclear Medicine, a radioactive form of it, to determine the attenuation of the radionuclides in patients to see how long you need to scan a patient in order to get a good picture. Just so you know!

about what? It was an article in New Scientist about 3 weeks ago. Presumably you do have a clue? Judging from your subscription to the 'Labyrinth of the Psyconaught' and its occult content, I suppose you don't.
