Nuclear Chemistry in the Research Group of Heavy Element Nuclear Science



The main objective of this group is to understand chemical and nuclear properties of superheavy elements (SHEs)
placed at the uppermost end of the Periodic Table as well as on the heaviest frontier of the nuclear chart.

What's new

Apri, 2017 Updated.
May, 2016 JAEA Channel "Lawrencium, Element 103 Solves the Puzzle of the Periodic Table ?" released.
Project JAEA【103番元素(Lr)が解く 周期表のパズル 〜あの周期表が書き換わる?〜】
March, 2016 The IUPAC project reported "Which Elements Belong in Group 3 of the Periodic Table?"
Dec., 2015 IUPAC decided to conduct a new project "THE CONSTITUTION OF GROUP 3 OF THE PERIODIC TABLE"
Our reserch related to the ionization potencial measurement triggered this project!
9 April, 2015
Our most recent result for the ionization potential measurement of Lr was published in Nature.
