The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

Move beyond lithium and its dominance in semiconductors. There exists a group of 17 other metals with mostly difficult-to-pronounce names but whose products are widespread around us. Here’s a full ...

Just like heavy metals and noble gases, algorithms on this AI periodic table are grouped according to what they have in common—both with I-Con and with each other (I-Con is a loss function ...

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 ...

"Traditional understanding of the periodic table suggests that berkelium would behave like the lanthanide terbium," Minasian says. Yet, unlike the lanthanide analogues, the berkelium ion is happier in ...

The researchers say more accurate models showing how actinide behavior changes across the periodic table are needed to solve problems related to long-term nuclear waste storage and remediation. This ...

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.

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 ...

Rare-earth elements, also known as rare-earth metals, on the periodic table, with atomic numbers and chemical symbols. A set of 17 heavy metals, consisting of the lanthanides, yttrium and scandium.

At the far end of the periodic table is a realm where nothing is quite as it should be. The elements here, starting at atomic number 104 (rutherfordium), have never been found in nature. In fact ...

The Periodic Table of Elements is more than just a scientific tool; it’s a visual guide to understanding the building blocks of our universe. Serving as an essential part of science education, the ...
