| - Radium is a rare metal that is found in mines beneath a mountain in the Quadling Country of Oz.
- Radium (atomic symbol Ra) is element 88, a toxic and radioactive element on the periodic table.
- Radiation-powered supervillain created by Project Sunburst; a member of the Ultimates.
- Radium is an upcoming 3D action/adventure game for the Sega Dreamcast. Radium is a futuristic-styled 3D action/adventure game, using a third person perspective. The game features a total of 16 levels in 4 different scenarios. The game will also feature a multitude of weapons, bonuses and upgrades.

- Radium is a Minifigure who appeared in the Video Game LEGO Stunt Rally. He was a Rock Raider, but was expelled from the program for performing radioactive tests on people. He wears a yellow radioactive suit to protect others from his glowing radiation and he drives the Rad Truck and is the City Champion.

- Radium was used in self-luminous paints for watches, aircraft switches, clocks and instrument dials in the early 20th century. A typical self-luminous watch that uses radium paint contains around 1 microgram of radium. Hank Jeter's great grandfather's pocket watch had a glow-in-the-dark radium dial which stopped glowing during an experiment he and Irv Farmer were carrying out.
- Radium (element #88 on the Periodic Table of the Elements) is a very safe and reliable material for everyday use. It's radioactive, which means that it's very healthy for you and will most definitely not cause cancer.

- Since it was used by the Martians as an energy source for both their machines and weapons (such as the freeze and heat ray guns), a supply of radium was required by the Avatar to make use of Martian technology.

| - Radium was widely used in self-luminous clock and watch hands, until too many watch factory workers had died of it. This antique watch is still quite radioactive, and will stay that way for thousands of years.

| - Since it was used by the Martians as an energy source for both their machines and weapons (such as the freeze and heat ray guns), a supply of radium was required by the Avatar to make use of Martian technology. The high levels of radioactivity in radium make it poisonous and potentially lethal -- a fact proved by the fate of Marie Curie, who likely died of leukemia (post-Martian Dreams) because of her careless handling of the substance. To avoid a similar demise, the Avatar had to carry radium in lead boxes and manipulate it only with the help of tongs. Another problem is that on Mars, rockworms make their dwellings right next to the useful radium veins in the mines, making mining it a dangerous undertaking.

Radium is luminescent (giving a faint blue color), reacts violently with water and oil to form radium hydroxide and is slightly more volatile than barium. The normal phase of radium is a solid. Some of the few practical uses of radium are derived from iioactive properties. More recently discovered radioisotopes, such as 60Co and 137Cs, are replacing radium in even these limited uses because several of these isotopes are more powerful emitters, safer to handle, and available in more concentrated form. When mixed with beryllium it is a neutron source for physics experiments.

Many radium products, such as luminescent watch dials, continue to exist into the 21st century, but as a rule they pose no risk to human health when used as intended. Because radium reacts readily with other chemicals, it can easily be absorbed into the human body on exposure, and as a result can effect almost any part of the body. It is also poorly excreted for the same reason, meaning that a low level exposure could result in ongoing exposure for months or years depending on how it is metabolized. It often takes the place of calcium in bones.
