In a recent study, Texas A&M University researchers have described a new process to purify astatine-211, a promising radioactive isotope for targeted cancer treatment. Unlike other elaborate ...
“I ask you,” the email to C&EN read, “is astatine more like a halogen or like a metal? This question awakens the inorganic chemist in everyone.” Whether or not you feel the same enthusiasm as the ...
A team of researchers using the ISOLDE nuclear-physics facility at CERN has measured for the first time the so-called electron affinity of the chemical element astatine, the rarest naturally occurring ...
Astatine is among the world’s rarest elements – with a maximum half-life of just eight hours, found in tiny amounts in natural radioactive decay chains, but also produced by bombarding bismuth with ...
A new targeted alpha therapy is showing promise for patients whose thyroid cancer no longer responds to radioactive iodine, the standard beta-emitting treatment. In a first-in-human study, ...
This week, we meet the element astatine, whose very name tells us almost half of all that we know about it. Astatine's chemical symbol is At and its chemical number is 85. Its name comes from the ...
A research team from the Graduate School of Medicine at Osaka University has started an investigator-initiated clinical trial of sodium astatine ([211 At]NaAt) injection for refractory differentiated ...
