Sejarah
Americium-241 was first identified in 1944 by Glenn T. Seaborg, Ralph A. James, Leon O. Morgan and Albert Ghiorso at the metallurgical laboratory at the University of Chicago.
It was produced by irradiating plutonium with neutrons during the Manhattan Project.
Americium was first isolated as a pure compound by Burris Cunningham in 1945, at the University of Chicago.

Aplikasi
Americium is used in commercial ionization chamber smoke detectors, as well as in neutron sources and industrial gauges.
Americium-241 has been used as a portable source of both gamma rays and alpha particles for a number of medical and industrial uses.
It is also used as a target material in nuclear research to make even heavier elements.
