Heavy ligands such as polyoxometalates are opening a new frontier in actinide chemistry. Studying materials that are both ...
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 of ...
These calculations revealed an unexpected finding about how berkelocene, one of 15 actinides in the periodic table’s f-block, behaves in comparison to the lanthanides, which are located one row above ...
One row above the actinides are the lanthanides. The pioneering nuclear chemist Glenn Seaborg discovered berkelium at Berkeley Lab in 1949. It would become just one of many achievements that led ...

Only a Few Grams of This Element Exist—and Scientists Have Used It to Break the Rules of the Periodic TableAccording 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 ...
“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. “I always thought ...
