This week, we meet the element berkelium, a transuranic actinide element that has the symbol, Bk, and the atomic number 97. This element is named for the city of Berkeley, the home of one of the ...

The Titan supercomputer at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) has enabled scientists to explore an unexpected oxidation state in the rare, radioactive element berkelium that was first ...

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 of ...

Berkelium is a synthetic, radioactive element that was first made at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory located in Berkeley, California (hence the name "berkelium") in 1949. It is a soft, ...

Researchers need a better way to extract individual heavy metal elements, called actinides, to obtain a purer product. In 2018, researchers discovered that the actinide berkelium, when oxidized, does ...

It is a sandwich with the rarest of fillings. Researchers have unveiled berkelocene, a compound containing the synthetic element berkelium nestled neatly between two ring-shaped molecules (Science ...

Working with berkelium compounds is extremely challenging because only small amounts of purified isotopes can be made and because of the radioactivity of berkelium and its decay products. Despite ...
