It could help in the development of improved radiotherapeutic products and contribute to a deeper understanding of the behaviour of actinide compounds in the environment and in nuclear waste disposal.

“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.
