Scientists have managed to successfully make a transuranium complex where the central metal, here neptunium, forms a multiple bond to just one other element. Enabling study of such a bonding ...

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 ...

Near the beginning of time, the universe almost certainly contained many elements heavier than uranium, the heaviest element that exists naturally on earth. Gradually these “transuranium” elements ...

To be able to add to the Periodic Table of elements is an honour that only a handful of scientists have experienced, but now a research team from Japan can join that illustrious list. Scientists at ...

It’s difficult to make molecules using elements that lie beyond uranium on the periodic table, which has hampered progress in studying how actinides form bonds. Now chemists have expanded the library ...

Darleane C. Hoffman, a trailblazing nuclear chemist who was hailed by Discover magazine as one of the 50 most important women in science and whose research confirmed the existence of several elusive ...

The problem with nuclear waste is that it needs to be stored for many thousands of years before it’s safe, which is a tricky commitment for even the most stable civilization. To make this situation a ...

Hailed as one of the 50 most important women in science, she found ways to study rare radioactive isotopes and advanced the understanding of nuclear fission. By Delthia Ricks Darleane C. Hoffman, a ...
