Organometallic chemistry of the actinide metals thorium and uranium has been undergoing a revival of sorts lately. This renewed interest is being sparked by a desire to better understand their ...

Ever since the Manhattan project in World War II, actinide chemistry has been essential for nuclear science and technology. Yet scientists still seek the ability to interpret and predict chemical and ...

Scientists have synthesized tetrafluoride powders of four radioactive elements—thorium, uranium, neptunium, and plutonium. These four elements are actinides, a series of heavy and radioactive elements ...

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 ...

Scientists have achieved the ionization potential measurement of lawrencium (element 103) with a novel-type technique at the JAEA tandem accelerator. Based on the empirically developed "actinide ...

The aqueous chemistry of tetravalent actinides remains a pivotal field of study owing to its implications for nuclear waste management, environmental remediation and advanced materials synthesis. In ...

Actinide materials comprise a class of substances made up of elements positioned in the periodic table from actinium to lawrencium. Known for their complex electronic properties and radioactivity, ...

Bonds between actinide elements are extremely rare, with barely a handful identified in fleeting or exotic circumstances. Now, researchers have created a fully-fledged crystalline complex containing ...

Production of improved/recommended decay data files of direct application in nuclear facilities, waste management, and for various design teams. Timely updating of the recommended nuclear parameters ...
