	Caesium
		Caesium is a soft metal which is often liquid at room temperature due to its relatively low melting point (28.5°C).

	Seasonal Variation of Caesium-137 from Fallout in a Clam, Rangia cuneata Gray
		Although caesium is not a biologically important trace element, chemically it resembles potassium, which is the principal cation of cytoplasm.
		Whereas the concentration of caesium in marine organisms is usually about three to thirty times higher than in the surrounding water, the concentration for similar organisms in fresh water may be higher by a factor of 100–1,000 (ref. 5).
		showed that the biological concentrations of caesium and potassium were directly related and that the concentration factors of both elements were inversely related to the salinity of the water.

	Deadly Soviet Caesium Is Missing
		Large boxes of powdered caesium 137, a powerfully radioactive substance, are lost in the former Soviet Union.
		These caesium sources are a major reason why the US has committed at least $25 million in 2002 to an urgent effort to track lost radioactive sources in former Soviet states, as New Scientist reported on Thursday.
		But because the caesium was used entirely as a source of radiation, it remained enclosed within the mobile gamma sources.

	NPL Time Metrology
		In a caesium clock a beam of atoms is produced by heating a small amount of caesium to around 100°C in an oven.
		When the frequency of the light emitted by one of these lasers is tuned onto a transition frequency in caesium atoms, such as one of those around 852 nm, the laser beam can be used to manipulate the internal states of the atoms.
		Using a synthesiser it is possible to offset the output frequency of the DRO from the locking value to the caesium transition frequency with millihertz resolution.

	Caesium units to be used
		Based on documents from a report submitted to the GPHC’s administration by a physicist, which were seen by this newspaper, it was reported that some of the components were missing and that there might have been a leak of radioactive material in the container where the machines are being stored.
		Regretting what it said was the “present state of confusion pertaining to the caesium equipment”, the hospital’s statement confirmed that the government purchased Caesium-137 machines and they were at the hospital.
		The statement said the building that was being constructed was not merely for the use of the caesium, but for a complete cancer centre that would have included the use of cobalt.

		Caesium, gallium, and mercury are the only three metals that are liquid at or around room temperature.
		Caesium reacts explosively with cold water, and reacts with ice at temperatures above -116°C. Caesium hydroxide is a strong base and attacks glass.
		This is an equilbrium reaction and under these conditions the caesium is highly volatile and removed from the system in a form relatively free from sodium impurities, allowing the reaction to proceed.
