Cadmium is a shiny, bright white metal with bluish reflections that was discovered in 1817 by German pharmacist Friedrich Stromeyer. Present in most zinc ores, cadmium is obtained as a by-product of zinc refining. A significant percentage of world cadmium production comes from recycled materials.

Cadmium is used in solar applications (CdTe, CdS) and in CdZnTe for nuclear radiation detectors (X-ray, gamma ray)
