description: "Friedrich Oskar Giesel was a German organic chemist. During his work in a quinine factory in the late 1890s, he began work in the then-novel field of radiochemistry and started the production of radium. In the period between 1902 and 1904, he was able to isolate a new element emanium. In a now controversially reviewed process, it was stated that emanium is identical to actinium, which was discovered by André-Louis Debierne in 1899."
