Uranium, belonging to the periodic table's actinide elements, has long intrigued scientists due to its complex electron configurations. Its unusual and diverse bonding characteristic manifests ...

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory say they have discovered a new way to create superheavy elements.

Lætitia H. Delmau, recipient of the prestigious 2024 Glenn T. Seaborg Actinide Separations Award and a distinguished ...

"The data from the combined set of experiments not only provides information of technological importance, it also provides ...

Even today Marie Curie's papers from the summit of her career in the 1890s - including her cookbook - are still considered too dangerous to handle, and are kept in lead-lined boxes When the last ...

Where actinide-element multiple bonding is concerned, there is much interest in exploiting understanding of chemical bonding (covalency) in extraction studies, because this could inform attempts to ...

Over time the build-up of those transuranic and actinide isotopes ‘pollute’ the fuel in an LWR to the point where the nuclear chain reaction is far less efficient than with ‘fresh’ fuel rods.

an example scenario with results, and a simple calculation tool, which can be used to calculate annual material flow in a selected nuclear fuel cycle option. The NFCSS' model estimates fuel cycle ...

He also developed the Fast Loading User Facility for Fission Yields at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s 88-inch cyclotron, a pneumatic system that allows the rapid transport of actinide samples ...

For groundbreaking investigations into actinide-cyclobutadienyl chemistry, leading to the preparation of a σ-aromatic cluster featuring direct actinide-actinide bonding. Every day is exciting when you ...

Laser spectroscopy measurements of the fermium isotopic chain show a smooth trend in the nuclear size of heavy actinide elements, and diminishing shell effects on the size evolution compared with ...
