Sc₄Os₈ is an intermetallic compound combining scandium and osmium, belonging to the family of refractory metal compounds. This is a research-phase material studied for its potential in high-temperature and extreme-environment applications, where the combination of scandium's low density with osmium's high melting point and hardness may offer advantages over conventional superalloys or ceramics.
