I le 1907, na faia ai e Welsbach ma G. Urban a latou lava suʻesuʻega ma maua ai se elemene fou mai le "ytterbium" e faʻaaoga ai auala eseese o le vavaeeseina.Na faaigoa e Welsbach lenei elemene Cp (Cassiope ium), ae na faaigoa e G. UrbanLu (Lutetium)fa'avae i le igoa tuai o Paris o lutece.Mulimuli ane, na iloa ai o Cp ma Lu o le elemene tutusa, ma sa taʻua uma i latou o le lutetium.
O le autufaʻaaogaina o le lutetium e faapenei.
(1) Gaosi mea fa'apitoa.Mo se faʻataʻitaʻiga, lutetium alumini alumini e mafai ona faʻaaogaina mo suʻesuʻega faʻagaioiga neutron.
(2) Nuclides lutetium mautu o loʻo faʻatinoina matafaioi faʻapitoa i le taʻeina o suauʻu, alkylation, hydrogenation, ma polymerization reactions.
(3) O le faʻaopoopoga o elemene e pei o le yttrium iron poʻo le yttrium alumini garnet e faʻaleleia ai nisi o meatotino.
(4) Mea mata'utia mo le teuina o pulu maneta.
(5) O se tioata galue tu'ufa'atasi, lutetium doped tetraboric acid alumini yttrium neodymium, o lo'o i totonu o le vaega fa'apitoa o le masima vaifofo masima tuputupu ae tioata.O faʻataʻitaʻiga e faʻaalia ai o le lutetium doped NYAB tioata e sili atu i le NYAB tioata i le faʻaogaina o le mata ma le faʻatinoga o le laser.
(6) Ina ua maeʻa suʻesuʻega a matagaluega mai fafo talafeagai, ua maua ai o le lutetium e mafai ona faʻaogaina i faʻaaliga electrochromic ma semiconductors mole mole maualalo maualalo.E le gata i lea, o le lutetium o loʻo faʻaaogaina foi e fai ma faʻagaioiga mo tekinolosi maa malosi ma le paʻu felafolafoaʻi.
