The Versatile Uses and Unique Properties of Platinum in Modern Applications

Platinum, a rare and valuable metal, is utilized across various fields including dentistry, jewelry, and high-temperature applications like missile nose cones. Known for its remarkable reliability, it resists oxidation and maintains integrity at elevated temperatures. With a melting point of 3215.1°F and a boiling point of 6917°F, platinum serves pivotal roles in creating anti-cancer drugs, fiber-optic cables, and LCD screens. Discovered in 1734 by Ulloa, platinum is 35 times rarer than gold, making it one of the most precious metals today.
