Amazing feat for the f-element community! Berkelocene, the heaviest sandwich complex of the Periodic Table, unlocked. Many congrats to the authors on their dedicated hard work to achieve this and working with the highly active Bk-249 isotope! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Meet Yale’s maestro of MicroED. Yale recently became home to a microcrystal electron diffractometer, which reveals material structures down to the atomic level. Chemist Brandon Mercado, who led the effort to acquire it, discusses the research this game-changing instrument makes possible: bit.ly/42yAFUO #Yale
