More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the ...

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

This makes its behavior different from the lanthanide terbium, which is located above actinides in the periodic table. “The electronic structure calculations, as well as the experimental ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have synthesized ...

"Traditional understanding of the periodic table suggests that berkelium would behave like the lanthanide terbium," said Minasian. "But the berkelium ion is much happier in the +4 oxidation state than ...

The pioneering nuclear chemist Glenn Seaborg discovered berkelium at Berkeley Lab in 1949. It was one of many achievements ...

Rare earth metals are making headlines as demand rises for products from smartphones to wind turbines, and as governments seek secure supply.

Key TakeawaysScientists have discovered "berkelocene," the first organometallic molecule to be characterized containing the ...
