Historie
Francium was discovered in 1939 by Marguerite Perey of the Curie Institute in Paris, France.

It was discovered when she was researching the radioactive decay of actinium-227.

Marguerite Perey discovered that francium-223 is made naturally when actinium-227 emits an alpha-particle.

Bruksområder
Due to its instability and rarity, there are no commercial applications for francium.

It has been used for research purposes in the fields of biology and of atomic structure.

Its use as a potential diagnostic aid for various cancers has also been explored, but this application has been deemed impractical.
Francium is highly radioactive
