Historie
Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff were the first to suggest finding cesium in 1860 by spectrum analysis.
They discovered cesium by its two blue emission lines in a sample of Dürkheim mineral water.
The pure metal was eventually isolated by the German chemist Carl Setterberg while working on his doctorate with Kekulé and Bunsen.

Applications
The radioactive isotope cesium-137 has a half-life of about 30 years and is used in medical applications, industrial gauges, and hydrology.
Cesium is also used in photoelectric cells and as a catalyst in the hydrogenation of organic compounds.
Cesium vapor thermionic generators are low-power devices that convert heat energy to electrical energy.
