Named after the German state of Hesse, hassium is highly radioactive and has no stable isotopes. Due to its short half-life and the complexity of its synthesis, it has limited applications primarily within research and experimental chemistry. Its properties are largely theoretical, given the challenges associated with studying such a volatile element.
