From smartphones to wind turbines, rare earth elements (REEs) are an essential part of the hardware in many advanced ...

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

The transplutonium actinides are highly radioactive and rare, making them difficult to study. To examine their chemical ...

More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the transuranium element berkelium. According to a new study, the electronic signature of ...

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

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

Researchers have synthesised a triple bond between carbon and boron for the first time. This discovery could help chemists better understand chemical bonds and inspire other researchers to synthesise ...

To time how fast a sprinter runs, you just need a stopwatch. To time how fast magma moves, you need to know a little bit ...

The rate of stars going supernova near Earth appears to match two mass extinctions -- 372 million years ago and 445 million ...

Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.
