I would like to express my gratitude to the #INL #Postdoctoral Office, the Office of Research Excellence and the #Communications team for providing me with this opportunity to discuss my work at INL.

It’s been a good week for science. Second, new radium compound in a few days (after years of preparing). #radium #nuclear

Low-coordinate neptunium 4+ robbed of electron, steals it back (you'll never guess how!!) ➡️

A new radium crystal is born. #radium

Exciting News from Plant Vogtle! 🎉

We are thrilled to announce a monumental achievement not only for Georgia but for the entire United States. The expansion project at #PlantVogtle has reached a significant milestone - Vogtle Unit 4 has entered commercial operation and is…

Not everyday you get to see this. Ra-226 is not too bad, its daughters make me wanna cry. #sblockrocks Photocred: Jacob Brannon group kicking ass cred: team Thomas Albrecht-Schönzart

Doesn’t look like much, but that’s enough Ra-226 to last us for years. Targeted syntheses begin shortly. Thank you Oak Ridge Lab the sample is perfect. #radium #nuclear Colorado School of Mines Oak Ridge LabIsotopes

She’s here! More to come. #radium #nuclear

Neodymium glass (also known as Alexandrite glass), changes colour according to different lighting conditions, here you can see it’s quite dramatic

Very useful article.

A Wigner crystal sounds like a gem, but it's a type of matter made entirely of electrons. Scientists theorized that they existed 90 years ago, but there was never direct evidence - until now. A team led by Princeton University researchers visualized the crystal: research.princeton.edu/news/quantum-c…

Delighted to see our new paper out. We figure out that the preorganization in dipyridyl-phenanthroline ligands affects the complexation ability of f-elements. Inorganic Chemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Awesome visit with Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen (Brittany Pettersen). Had a great time sharing our plans for future research in #nuclear . #fblockrocks Colorado School of Mines

Did you know that blinking does more than keep your eyes moist? It actually enhances your vision by reformulating spatial information into the temporal domain, acting as an information processing stage.

#Didyouknow that the radioactive silvery metal 'Curium' was discovered by chemistry laureate Glenn Seaborg (pictured)?

Seaborg produced and identified curium in July 1944. Seaborg himself also has a chemical element named after him, called Seaborgium.

Mountains and rad crystals are the only logo requirements? You’ve got it 😇🖤✨Thomas Albrecht-Schönzart

BENZENE(4-): Aromatic but not so stable - high charge & full antibonding orbitals! Most C6H6(4-) claims are highly controversial. We report proof for C6H6(4-) by comparing structures of Ca/Yb & Sr/Sm pairs that are normally perfectly matching Angewandte Chemie shorturl.at/glrx1
