Is there any element that calls to mind the notion of strength quite like titanium? Named after the Titans, Greek gods of myth, the 22nd element on the Periodic Table appears in airliners and lacrosse sticks, body piercings and medical equipment and even sunscreen.
Titanium resists corrosion and is particularly strong and light weight. It's as strong as steel, but only 45 percent the weight, according to Los Alamos National Laboratory, And it's twice as strong as aluminum, but only 60 percent heavier.
Titanium Element:
Superhero element
For an element with superpowers, titanium has a fitting origin story: It is forged in the depths of supernovas, or collapsing stars. A 2012 study of a particular dying star, Supernova 1987A, found that a single supernova can creat 100 Earths worth of titanium-44, a radioactive isotope of titanium, by mass.
