Europio (EU) Europium

Bright colors

Almost every device with a color display contains europium, the irreplaceable element for the production of red phosphors. Without this element, our screens could not reproduce the full color spectrum with the vividness to which we are accustomed.

Banknote Security

Euro banknotes contain europium compounds that emit a characteristic red fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet light, providing a measure of security that is difficult to counterfeit.

Advanced Diagnostics

Europium complexes are used as probes in nuclear magnetic resonance imaging to study protein interactions, contributing to research on new drugs and therapies.
