Promethium (Pm) is a synthetic rare-earth metal produced artificially through nuclear fission, with no stable isotopes occurring naturally. It has been explored primarily in research and specialized nuclear applications, particularly in self-luminous devices and radioisotope power sources, though its radioactive nature and limited availability have restricted widespread industrial adoption compared to other rare-earth elements.
