So why do so many life-forms breathe oxygen? There are probably thousands of kinds of metabolisms, or chemical processes that ...

After a year of fastidious planning, a microscopic sample of the ultra-rare radioactive element berkelium arrived at a ...

For the second year in a row, Auckland’s MOTAT (Museum and Transport and Technology) is shortlisted for an International ...

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

Researchers named the compound “berkelocene” because it is comparable to the compound “uranocene,” a uranium-containing ...

The pioneering nuclear chemist Glenn Seaborg discovered berkelium at Berkeley Lab in 1949. It was one of many achievements ...

that’s stabilized by the berkelium–carbon bonds. This makes its behavior different from the lanthanide terbium, which is located above actinides in the periodic table. “The electronic ...

“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 organometallic ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of organometallic chemistry. They have synthesized and ...

"This is the first time that evidence for the formation of a chemical bond between berkelium and carbon has been obtained. The discovery provides new understanding of how berkelium and other actinides ...

Organometallic molecules, which consist of a metal ion surrounded by a carbon-based framework ... behave relative to their peers in the periodic table," said Stefan Minasian, a scientist in ...

"Traditional understanding of the periodic table suggests that berkelium would ... Russo et al, Berkelium–carbon bonding in a tetravalent berkelocene, Science (2025). DOI: 10.1126/science.adr3346 ...
