Scientists from The University of Manchester have managed to successfully make actinide metals form molecular actinide-actinide bonds for the first time, opening up a new field of scientific study in ...

Element 117 was named tennessine because of the participation of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Vanderbilt University and the ...

Where actinide-element multiple bonding is concerned, there is much interest in exploiting understanding of chemical bonding (covalency) in extraction studies, because this could inform attempts to ...

This is the second part of a three-part series written by Carolyn Krause. Many of the elements were synthesized using an Oak ...

This first-of-its-kind dataset and corresponding analysis fill a key gap in the existing body of knowledge for mineralogists and actinide scientists. Laser-based vibrational spectroscopy methods ...
