Ever since the Manhattan project in World War II, actinide chemistry has been essential for nuclear science and technology. Yet scientists still seek the ability to interpret and predict chemical and ...

Scientists have managed to successfully make a transuranium complex where the central metal, here neptunium, forms a multiple bond to just one other element. Enabling study of such a bonding ...

Scientists from The University of Manchester have managed to successfully make actinide metals form molecular actinide-actinide bonds for the first time, opening up a new field of scientific study in ...

Scientists have synthesized tetrafluoride powders of four radioactive elements—thorium, uranium, neptunium, and plutonium. These four elements are actinides, a series of heavy and radioactive elements ...

Organometallic chemistry of the actinide metals thorium and uranium has been undergoing a revival of sorts lately. This renewed interest is being sparked by a desire to better understand their ...

I bought three copies of Sam Kean s The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements. I left the first one in the seat ...

UV-Visible-NIR microspectroscopy brings together high-spatial resolution microscopy and spectroscopy across the ultraviolet (UV), visible, and near-infrared (NIR) spectral regions. This technique is a ...

The aqueous chemistry of tetravalent actinides remains a pivotal field of study owing to its implications for nuclear waste management, environmental remediation and advanced materials synthesis. In ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Tucked away in a stellar graveyard known as the Gaia Sausage, scientists have discovered a cosmic oddity with a potentially huge ...

BOSTON – Ever since the Manhattan project in World War II, actinide chemistry has been essential for nuclear science and technology. Yet scientists still seek the ability to interpret and predict ...
