Scientists have managed to successfully make a transuranium complex where the central metal, here neptunium, forms a multiple bond to just one other element. Enabling study of such a bonding ...

For the transuranium-element multiple bond chemistry that has been accomplished, examples that are known involve two or more element multiple bonds to a given transuranium ion in order to provide ...

This created an entirely new element known (fittingly) as berkelium, and was one major step toward Seaborg’s eventual Nobel Prize win in 1951 for his discoveries of transuranium (i.e. elements ...

Currently there is no known biological role for this element The new element 133 is a ‘superheavy element’ - The superheavy elements are not known to occur naturally and are therefore termed ...

The two facilities have been producing usable amounts of a range of transuranium elements, including plutonium-239 needed for the U.S. space program.

Much more than mere scientific curiosity could be involved. It was in an attempt to create transuranium elements that scientists first bombarded a rare isotope, uranium 235, with slow neutrons.

The transuranium elements (elements 95 through 100) were forged by bombarding uranium with neutrons and waiting for the impregnated nucleus to become radioactive and convert its extra neutron into ...

Not much is known about these elements, since they aren't stable enough to do experiments on and are not found in nature. They are called "Super Heavy," or Transuranium, elements.

It’s difficult to make molecules using elements that lie beyond uranium on the periodic table, which has hampered progress in studying how actinides form bonds. Now chemists have expanded the ...

They are called "super heavy," or Transuranium, elements. The newly named elements fit in the 114 and 116 spots, down in the lower-right corner of the periodic table, and were officially accepted ...

Molecular uranium and thorium chemistry has taken enormous strides forwards in recent years through the study of metal-element multiple bonding, but transuranium science has lagged far behind due to ...
