Ram Mohan looks at how bismuth — a remarkably harmless element among the toxic heavy metals in the periodic table — has sparked interest in areas varying from medicinal to industrial chemistry.

Since it was first synthesized in a post-WW2 American lab in 1949, berkelium has been a rebel of the periodic table, defying quantum mechanics and taking on an extra positive charge that its ...

Holt, one of Magellan’s offshore managers, said the aim was to test the physical requirements and environmental impacts of ...

Using a chemical glove box, a polycarbonate glass box with protruding gloves that shields substances from oxygen and moisture, scientists combined the berkelium metal with an organic molecule ...

Heavy element researchers have been keen to lock down the 15 radioactive elements in the periodic table's actinide series using carbon-based cuffs ever since they trapped uranium in the far more ...
