31. Zhao et al . likewise discovered that a still different cyclization pathway is available to chalcones with a samarium counterion. 32. Samarium monosulfide also generates electric voltage upon moderate heating to about 150 �C that can be applied in thermoelectric power converters.33. One of the mesh fragments was discovered to be composed of scandium, gold, lanthanum, sodium, and samarium . 34. Sintered Samarium Cobalt magnets exhibit magnetic anisotropy, meaning they can only be magnetized in the axis of their magnetic orientation. 35. Lunar scientists were particularly interested in rocks that had higher concentrations of samarium , uranium, thorium, potassium and phosphorus. 36. Prior to the advent of ion-exchange separation technology in the 1950s, samarium had no commercial uses in pure form. 37. Samarium hexaboride, abbreviated SmB 6, has recently been shown to be a topological insulator with potential applications to quantum computing.38. When ingested, only about 0.05 % of samarium salts is absorbed into the bloodstream and the remainder is excreted. 39. He wrote a paper on samarium in 1879 and " The Seasonal Distribution of Atlantic Plankton Organisms " in 1900. 40. Some of the fission products, such as xenon-135 and samarium -149, have a high neutron absorption capacity.
