For the last fifty or so years, the periodic table has been incomplete. Elements after uranium on the periodic table have been synthesized for the past few decades, but there were always a few ...

The discovery of radioactivity in 1896 by Henri Becquerel from a uranium sample, and subsequent research by Enrico Fermi and others from 1934 on, eventually showed that 235 U can undergo a chain ...

“The discovery provides new understanding of how berkelium and other actinides behave relative to their peers in the periodic ...

The zigzag, staircase, line in the diagram of the periodic table above separates the metals, on the left, from non-metals, on the right. Hydrogen is a non-metal, but it is often put in the middle.

A 24-year-old Australian man could go to jail for ten years as he prepares to plead guilty for importing plutonium from a ...

The breakthrough disrupts long-held theories about the chemistry of the elements that follow uranium in the periodic table. A research team led by the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley ...

Four have filled gaps in the periodic table of 92 elements and five have extended it beyond uranium By I. Perlman & G. T. Seaborg Join Our Community of Science Lovers!

Since it was first synthesized in a post-WW2 American lab in 1949, berkelium has been a rebel of the periodic table, defying ...

One of the proud achievements of Oak Ridge National Laboratory is the discovery of three elements either by its own staff or in collaboration with other institutions in the United States and Russia.

The researchers named the molecule berkelocene because its structure is analogous to a uranium organometallic complex called “uranocene ... Traditional understanding of the periodic table suggests ...
