At first glance there's nothing odd about naming element 99 in the periodic table 'einsteinium'. After all, Einstein is the most famous scientist that has ever lived. Yet fame is not usually a good ...

However, to make elements 119 or 120, researchers need einsteinium or fermium, which are not synthezied in sufficient ...

The ninety-ninth element in the periodic table was discovered shortly after Einstein's death in 1955, and it was named "einsteinium." "The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is ...

Speaker Lætitia H. Delmau is th recipient of the prestigious 2024 Glenn T. Seaborg Actinide Separations Award.

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

Mr. Graydon, the science editor at the Times Literary Supplement, has chosen his number of chapters in a playful homage to the atomic number of the element einsteinium. Even if readers are familiar ...

But only two elements have been named after living people. One is element 99, einsteinium. The other is element 106, called seaborgium in honour of the American chemist Glenn Seaborg. Seaborg's career ...

But using this method to create elements with atomic numbers greater than 118 would require targets made of either einsteinium or fermium, both of which are extremely rare and unstable.
