In their momentary life span, atoms of lawrencium, element 103, may have left a lasting impression on the structure of the periodic table. For the first time, researchers have measured a basic ...

It has been a key part school chemistry lessons for more than a century, but now the periodic table may need to be redrawn after scientists found a rare element may be very different from originally ...

This week, we meet the element lawrencium, which has the atomic symbol, Lr, and the chemical number, 103. It was named in honour of nuclear physicist Ernest O. Lawrence, who worked at the University ...

For folks whose last exposure to the periodic table might have been in a college or high school chemistry class, the idea that the order of elements on the periodic table is not an immutable physical ...

This news release is available in German. An international collaboration led by the research group of superheavy elements at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), Tokai, Japan has achieved the ...

Scientists have achieved the ionization potential measurement of lawrencium (element 103) with a novel-type technique at the JAEA tandem accelerator. Based on the empirically developed "actinide ...

Researchers have for the first time measured the first ionization energy of lawrencium, the last of the actinides, validating predictions of the element’s electronic structure (Nature 2015, DOI: ...
