Unlike other elements reportedly gathered by Lidden, the plutonium sparked a major hazmat alert, requiring a response from the Australian Border Force (ABF) officials, firefighters, and police. He and ...

John Sutton described his client as an “innocent collector” and “science nerd”, claiming Lidden “did not import or possess ...

Today, 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang, stars have converted about 2 per cent of the universe’s hydrogen and helium into other elements. They now exist in varying amounts, depending on the ...

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 ...

During the process, they discovered something unexpected about this particular f-block element on the periodic table that could help us understand transuranium elements more broadly as well as provide ...

After a year of fastidious planning, a microscopic sample of the ultra-rare radioactive element berkelium arrived at a ...

Emmanuel Lidden from Australia took it as a real challenge: he wanted to collect all the elements of the periodic table. But ...

Humans are made of many chemical elements that work together to create our complex bodies. The elements are like pieces of a puzzle, each playing a unique and essential role in maintaining our health.

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