Value of californium-252: $27M per gram. ORNL sells milligrams of californium-252 to customers based on its value of $27 million per gram. A very strong neutron emitter, Cf-252 is used in portable ...

A californium complex has provided the first crystal structure featuring a californium-carbon bond, helping probe bonding trends in the nether regions of the periodic table (Nature 2021, DOI: 10. ...

With this foundation, the next ambitious target for titanium 50 fusion is the creation of element 120, which will require collisions with californium. Element 120 would be the heaviest element yet ...

With this proof-of-concept in place, the team now plans to use the titanium beam to hunt for the hypothesized element 120. This could be done by firing titanium at a californium target ...

A new study lays the groundwork to expand the periodic table with a search for element 120, to be made by slamming electrically charged titanium atoms, or ions, into a californium target.

Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The team believes this method could potentially help synthesize the ...
