Nickel sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula NiS. It exists in two main forms: a hexagonal NiS (millerite) and a cubic NiS (heazlewoodite). It is typically produced by reacting nickel salts with sulfide ions. Nickel sulfide is a dark gray to black solid, and it is insoluble in water. It is known for its magnetic properties and is used in various applications, including battery electrodes, catalysts, and magnetic materials. It is also a component of some nickel ores. The study of nickel sulfide is important because it helps us understand its potential uses and environmental impact. It is often investigated for its role in the biogeochemical cycling of sulfur and nickel, as well as its implications for environmental remediation. There are ongoing research efforts to develop efficient methods for the synthesis of nickel sulfide and to explore its potential for use in energy storage and catalytic applications.'

| Rhabdomyosarcoma A malignant solid tumor arising from mesenchymal tissues which normally differentiate to form striated muscle. It can occur in a wide variety of sites.

It is one of the most frequently occurring soft tissue sarcomas and the most common in children under 15.
