1 day ago · “Superheavies,” Stephanie Pappas’s article about superheavy elements, reminded me of a series of articles on “The Synthetic Elements,” by Glenn T. Seaborg and his associates, that were ...
5 days ago · Glenn Seaborg, a physicist at the University of California, Berkeley, along with chemist Joseph Kennedy and graduate student Arthur Wahl, discovered element 94 that Seaborg named “plutonium” after the planet.
4 days ago · Americium was first produced in 1944 by the group of Glenn T. Seaborg from Berkeley, California, at the Metallurgical Laboratory of the University of Chicago, as part of the Manhattan Project. Although it is the third element in the transuranic series, it was discovered fourth, after the heavier curium .
4 days ago · Let's dive into some intriguing facts about this alloy. 01. Plutonium–Zirconium alloys are primarily used in nuclear reactors due to their ability to withstand high temperatures and radiation. 02. Plutonium, a radioactive element, was first discovered in 1940 by a team led by Glenn T. Seaborg. 03.
2 days ago · In 1967, Glenn Seaborg, a co-discoverer of plutonium, predicted that “handling radioactive waste in a future large scale nuclear economy” would not be “a major problem.” Impressive as they are, Nobel laureates can be mistaken.

17 hours ago · As some superheavy elements were predicted to lie beyond the seven-period periodic table, an additional eighth period containing these elements was first proposed by Glenn T. Seaborg in 1969. This model continued the pattern in established elements and introduced a new g-block and superactinide series beginning at element 121, raising the number of elements in period 8 compared to known periods.
