Iridium - The Metal of Extremes
Iridium (symbol Ir) is one of the rarest and most corrosion-resistant metals on Earth, belonging to the Platinum Group Metals (PGMs). It’s renowned for its exceptional hardness, high melting point (over 2,400°C), and ability to withstand extreme environments — from aerospace engines to deep-sea and outer space applications.
Iridium Isotopes detection

Iridium - The Metal of Extremes
Iridium isotope detection typically relies on high-resolution mass spectrometry techniques such as Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry (TIMS) for precise isotopic ratio measurement. These methods can detect iridium at ultra-trace levels (parts per trillion), even in complex geological or extraterrestrial samples. Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) is also used for identifying isotopic signatures in meteorites and catalytic materials. Advanced laser ablation ICP-MS allows spatial mapping of iridium isotopes directly from solid samples without chemical dissolution.
