Understanding how a small, gas-phase molecule containing an actinide atom reacts with other molecules helps us better understand the chemistry of heavy elements. These elements are often available in ...

Scientists have achieved the ionization potential measurement of lawrencium (element 103) with a novel-type technique at the JAEA tandem accelerator. Based on the empirically developed "actinide ...

Chemists have recently explored protactinium's multiple resemblances to more completely understand the relationship between the transition metals and the complex chemistry of the early actinide ...

It’s been 77 years since nuclear chemist Glenn T. Seaborg grouped and named the actinides —the 15 metallic elements on the periodic table with atomic numbers from 89-103, actinium through lawrencium.

Heavy elements: Researchers created molecules containing actinium (Ac) and Nobelium (No), atoms found on opposite sides of the actinide series of chemical elements. They expect chemical properties to ...

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 ...

Carolyn Krause presents the second part of the three-part series on the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's role in the discovery of elements in the periodic table. Many of them have been synthesized ...

Last week, we explored the evolution of the periodic table, with all its elements in order. Now that we’re well-organized, let’s dive into the reasoning. * The table is generally sorted by the number ...
