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 ...

“The discovery provides new understanding of how berkelium and other actinides behave relative to their peers in the periodic table.” For decades the Berkeley Lab has been creating ...

The discovery provides new understanding of how berkelium and other actinides behave relative to their peers in the periodic table,” says Stefan Minasian, a scientist in Berkeley Lab’s Chemical ...

A research team recently discovered the first organometallic molecule — coined “berkelocene” — containing the heavy element berkelium at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or ...

Heavy element researchers have been keen to lock down the 15 radioactive elements in the periodic table's actinide series using carbon-based cuffs ever since they trapped uranium in the far more ...
