The melting points then get gradually lower, with the element caesium four places down having a melting point of 28°C. A hypothesis is a suggestion or prediction made on the basis of some evidence.

The researchers found that adding a compound called caesium nitrate to a part of the battery dramatically improves the charging rate of lithium metal batteries – while allowing them to keep a long ...

Eric Scerri recounts the story of element 87, which after a number of false starts was finally tracked down in France — and named in its honour. One of the most remarkable things about element ...

When Mendeleev first proposed his periodic table in 1869 he left gaps for elements not yet discovered, but that he predicted should exist. One such gap was one beneath caesium, a position later found ...

White sand laced with plutonium. Water tainted with strontium. Hub cap-sized hermit crabs eating coconuts containing caesium. A dome ‘coffin’ crammed with radioactive material in plastic bags.

Future Battery Minerals is selling its 80% interest in the Nevada lithium project to Austroid Corporation for $4m in cash to ...

Another pill, Prussian blue (potassium ferric hexacyanoferrate), can help remove radioactive caesium and thallium. If HOPO 14-1 works, it would be another to add to the stockpile, offering ...
