Heavy ligands such as polyoxometalates are opening a new frontier in actinide chemistry. Studying materials that are both radioactive and rare presents significant challenges. The elements that follow ...

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

A heavy metal molecule with Berkeley roots Berkelium is one of 15 actinides in the periodic table's f-block. One row above the actinides are the lanthanides. The pioneering nuclear chemist Glenn ...

Ram Mohan looks at how bismuth — a remarkably harmless element among the toxic heavy metals in the periodic table — has sparked interest in areas varying from medicinal to industrial chemistry.

The position of an element on the periodic table provides information about its properties. The majority of elements are metals and they are found on the left and in the middle of the periodic table.

and all the elements in group 0 are unreactive non-metals. The zigzag, staircase, line in the diagram of the periodic table above separates the metals, on the left, from non-metals, on the right.

The Periodic Table is an amazing chemistry tool that is organized with elements in order of increasing atomic number. The properties of the element change as you move across the row, but are similar ...

During the process, they discovered something unexpected about this particular f-block element on the periodic table that could help us understand transuranium elements more broadly as well as ...

Scientists from UB and the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have discovered “berkelocene,” the first organometallic molecule to be characterized containing the heavy ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Scientists from the University at Buffalo and the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have discovered “berkelocene,” the first organometallic molecule to be ...
