There are 17 rare earth elements (REEs) in all — 15 lanthanides plus yttrium and scandium. It's a fairly diverse group, with ...

This created a stable compound, allowing the researchers to use X-ray absorption spectroscopy to measure the length of the ...

Heavy ligands such as polyoxometalates are opening a new frontier in actinide chemistry. Studying materials that are both ...

"Traditional understanding of the periodic table suggests that berkelium would behave like the lanthanide terbium," Minasian says. Yet, unlike the lanthanide analogues, the berkelium ion is happier in ...

These are almost one-quarter of the periodic table and are mainly found in the first four periods. Of these, 11 are essential elements that our bodies need in larger amounts: oxygen, carbon ...

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 ...

According to Arnold, this discovery proved researchers cannot treat actinides like lanthanides, showing that the f-orbitals display different behaviors moving down the periodic table. This ...

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 ...
