Since it was first synthesized in a post-WW2 American lab in 1949, berkelium has been a rebel of the periodic table, defying ...
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have made a groundbreaking ...
Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.
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 National ...
Where does the periodic table of elements end, and what processes give rise to heavy elements? An international research team has conducted experiments at the GSI/FAIR accelerator facility and ...
Gold is increasingly being used in nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is useful because it is not restricted to a particular material – any material could in principle be made into a nanomaterial.
This is the second part of a three-part series written by Carolyn Krause. Many of the elements were synthesized using an Oak ...
