Oxidation is the process where atoms lose electrons during a chemical reaction. Among the radioactive elements, neptunium and plutonium are much harder to oxidize than uranium. To study these elements ...
Edwin McMillan and Philip H. Abelson first produced neptunium at the University of California in 1940. The scientists bombarded uranium-238 atoms with neutrons to chemically produce neptunium-239, ...
Uranium and plutonium have gotten famous, or infamous, because they are used in atom bombs. We could have been saying that about another material—one that few actually know. Learn about the material ...
Awarded a prestigious Department of Energy Office of Science Graduate Student Research award, University of Iowa graduate student Logan Augustine will head to the Los Alamos National Laboratory to ...
In a recent paper published in The European Physical Journal D, researchers from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany, have demonstrated a method for more precise ionization measurements of ...
image: Electron micrographs show neptunium dioxide grain size increases with increasing temperature. Processing the material at higher temperature increases its grain size and reduces its movement ...
Scientists from The University of Manchester have managed to successfully make a transuranium complex where the central metal, here neptunium, forms a multiple bond to just one other element. Enabling ...
DELIVERING this year's Harrison Howe Lecture on November 18 to the Rochester Section of the American Chemical Society, Prof. G. T. Seaborg referred to the importance which the newly discovered ...
