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 ...

Breaking the Barriers of Actinide Chemistry For years, organometallic chemistry and actinide research progressed along ...

The research could help in the development of improved radiotherapeutic products and contribute to a deeper understanding of ...

Scientists have discovered 'berkelocene,' the first organometallic molecule to be characterized containing the heavy element berkelium. The breakthrough disrupts long-held theories about the ...

There are still surprising gaps in our knowledge about how actinide elements form chemical bonds with other elements. One of the big questions is the extent to which electrons are shared between the ...

This unveils actinide superatoms that exhibit open-shell jellium aromaticity. The isolation of compounds featuring an actinide–actinide bond is challenging. Now a well-defined Th(III ...

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 ...

A research team at Los Alamos National Laboratory is developing a new technology called the Non-destructive Alpha Spectrometer, or NDAlpha, which is the first field-deployable alpha spectrometer that ...
