In this interview Dr. Thomas Albrecht-Schönzart talks to AZoM about his research into some of the heaviest elements in chemistry. Please can you tell us about your research and studies into the ...

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 ...

The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...
