The lanthanide (4f) and actinide (5f) elements (collectively the “f-block”) comprise around a quarter of the periodic table, and many are essential to key aspects of modern life and society. These ...

F‐Block chemistry encompasses the study of elements whose valence electrons occupy the f‐orbitals, including both the lanthanides and actinides. These elements exhibit unique electronic structures ...

One of the greatest challenges facing the future of clean nuclear energy is scientists’ ability to recover heavy metals from nuclear waste, such as lanthanides and actinides. A new computational tool ...
