Most notably, berkelium's electrons behave in strange ways, seemingly violating the laws of quantum mechanics. The more we learn about this element, the more it seems we might have to amend some of our most established theories just to account for it. “It's almost like being in an alternate universeÃÂ ...

For the past three years, Thomas Albrecht-Schmitt and his team of researchers have been performing experiments on berkelium, element number 97— and the results diverged from what might be expected. Instead of obeying quantum mechanics, they found that the element's behavior was better describedÃÂ ...

In terms of the electrons in berkelium, the thinking goes that as the electrons begin to move at extremely fast speeds around each atom's highly charged nucleus – at up to significant fractions of the speed of light – this causes them to become heavy, and behave in ways that defy a quantum explanation ofÃÂ ...

Although berkelium was first synthesized over 60 years ago, its isotope is produced in such small amounts and remains stable for such a short time (less than a year) that its fundamental structure and properties are rarely studied. Producing Bk-249 is also a lengthy undertaking that includes many preciseÃÂ ...

Little has been known about berkelium's chemistry. The element with atomic number 97 is highly radioactive and its most common isotope has a half-life of only 330 days. Most of the few known berkelium compounds are trivalent (+3 oxidation state). The few +4 compounds are unstable and require strongÃÂ ...
