To get a closer look at the Promethium element, researchers first created a compound known as bispyrrolidine diglycolamide ...

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee have become the first to use radioactive promethium to make a chemical ‘complex’ — a compound in which it is bound to a few ...

The characterization of this complex in solution not only provides fundamental knowledge of the chemistry and physical properties of promethium and its compounds, but also enables the first ...

The research team successfully isolated a pure sample of promethium-147 and bonded it with an organic molecule in an aqueous solution. “This created a stable compound, allowing the researchers ...

THE physico-chemical properties of promethium and its compounds are generally predicted from knowledge of the properties of other lanthanides. However, since promethium lies between neodymium and ...

Scientists have revealed key properties of radioactive promethium, a rare earth element with poorly understood applications, using a groundbreaking new method. For the first time, scientists have ...

Named for the Greek Titan who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to humanity, glow-in-the-dark promethium is a highly radioactive, rare earth element. It is not found anywhere on Earth and is found ...

Promethium was discovered in 1945 at Clinton Laboratories, now the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and continues to be produced at ORNL in minute quantities. Some of its ...
