Uncovering Transuranium Elements and the Quest for Stability

If you take a look at the periodic table of elements, you will notice something interesting. 

Go to the bottom and take a look at any element over, say, number 94. You will find a bunch of elements you have probably never heard of.

Don’t worry because most chemists probably aren’t familiar with them, either. They are not part of any chemical compounds, cannot be found in nature, and most have only existed for a fraction of a second. 

Learn more about transuranium elements, what they are, and how we even know they exist on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.e
