Researchers grew crystals containing actinium and illuminated them with X-rays to learn how the radioactive metal binds with other elements. That information could help design better cancer treatments ...
The element radium can be found in extremely tiny amounts in the Earth’s crust and oceans, and in its pure form it is a soft silvery metal. To an untrained eye, a small piece of radium may look like a ...
Environmentalists urged the Bush administration Thursday not to lift a Clinton-era ban on recycling scrap metals from Department of Energy nuclear facilities. They say allowing the metals to be ...
After a year of fastidious planning, a microscopic sample of the ultra-rare radioactive element berkelium arrived at a Berkeley Lab. With just 48 hours to experiment before it would become unusable, a ...
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a cellulose-based composite sheet that integrates paper pulp with starch, ...
The widespread cesium-137 contamination that spread far beyond an industrial area in Indonesia has led to radioactive ...
Whether its lead from old buildings, arsenic from contaminated food or strontium fallout from a nuclear explosion, heavy metals that enter the body pose a serious health threat. With chemical ...
Engineering metal-organic cages (MOCs) with metal acyl nodes utilizes the axial oxygen atoms of these nodes as complementary internal binding sites for the supramolecular recognition of metal ions.
