The transplutonium actinides are highly radioactive and rare, making them difficult to study. To examine their chemical ...

More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the ...

The pioneering nuclear chemist Glenn Seaborg discovered berkelium at Berkeley Lab in 1949. It was one of many achievements ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have made a groundbreaking ...

Researchers named the compound “berkelocene” because it is comparable to the compound “uranocene,” a uranium-containing ...

Developing a greater understanding of the amount of covalency in lanthanides and actinides - also known as the f elements - is important, given our current lack of knowledge about them, and their ...

“It’s an amazing bit of experimental work,” says Conrad Goodwin, who studies lanthanide and actinide chemistry at the University of Manchester and was not involved in the research.

Nature Research Intelligence Topics enable transformational understanding and discovery in research by categorising any document into meaningful, accessible topics. Read this blog to understand ...

According to a new study, the electronic signature of the actinide element acts differently than lanthanides, which is what scientists previously expected. Understanding the atomic behavior of ...

Berkelium is one of 15 actinides in the periodic table's f-block. One row above the actinides are the lanthanides. The ...
