More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the transuranium element berkelium. According to a new study, the electronic signature ...

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

Since it was first synthesized in a post-WW2 American lab in 1949, berkelium has been a rebel of the periodic table, defying ...

This makes its behavior different from the lanthanide terbium, which is located above actinides in the periodic table. “The electronic structure calculations, as well as the experimental observations, ...

Scientists from UB and the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have discovered “berkelocene,” the first organometallic molecule to be characterized containing the heavy ...

A heavy metal molecule with Berkeley roots Berkelium is one of 15 actinides in the periodic table's f-block. One row above the actinides are the lanthanides.

US president Donald Trump recently signed an agreement to share Ukraine’s mineral resources. Just how scarce are rare earth ...

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

Rare earth metals are making headlines as demand rises for products from smartphones to wind turbines, and as governments seek secure supply.
