A team of scientists at the Berkeley Lab has reported some of the properties of element 99 in the periodic table called “Einsteinium”, named after Albert Einstein.
About:
With this new study published in the journal Nature last week, for the first time researchers have been able to characterise some of the properties of the element.
It was discovered in 1952 in the debris of the first hydrogen bomb (the detonation of a thermonuclear device called “Ivy Mike” in the Pacific Ocean).
The most common isotope of the element, einsteinium 253 has a half-life of 20 days.
