ein·stei·ni·um /aɪnˈstaɪniəm/
  □
  einsteinium
       n : a radioactive transuranic element produced by bombarding
           plutonium with neutrons [syn: Es, E, atomic number
           99]
  einsteinium
  Symbol: Es
  Atomic number: 99
  Atomic weight: (254)
  Appearance is unknown, however it is most probably metallic and silver
  or gray in color. Radioactive metallic transuranic element belonging to the
  actinoids. Es-254 has the longest half-life of the eleven known isotopes at
  270 days. First identified by Albert Ghiorso and associates in the debris of
  the 1952 hydrogen bomb explosion. In 1961 the first microgram quantities of
  Es-232 were separated. While einsteinium never exists naturally, if a
  sufficient amount was assembled, it would pose a radiation hazard.
