University of Cambridge researchers have discovered that a material already known for its peculiar electrical properties appears to behave as both a conductor and an insulator at the same time. This ...

The metallic element samarium, when bound with other elements, is an incredibly useful chemical reagent for synthesizing molecules that can lead to new pharmaceuticals. Discovered in a Russian mine in ...

IN connexion with attempts to incorporate more divalent (rather than trivalent) samarium into calcium fluoride single crystals, and thereby make them more efficient optical maser materials 1, we have ...

Many years ago while studying for a degree in mineralogy, I was privileged to visit the Russian Ilmen Mountains, host to two minerals from which several rare-earth elements were discovered — monazite ...

To assess docetaxel combined with samarium-153–ethylene diamine tetramethylene phosphonic acid (EDTMP), a radiopharmaceutical with a high affinity for bone, in patients with castration-resistant ...

Scientists have discovered a potential tool to enhance magnetization and magnetic anisotropy, making it possible to improve the performance of samarium-cobalt magnets. Scientists have discovered a ...

Nanoparticles are of great scientific interest as they have high surface area to volume ratio, excellent optical properties and good diffusion properties, particularly at high temperatures. Samarium ...

Divalent samarium compounds are important reagents for reductive transformations in organic chemistry. However, currently, a high amount of this reagent is required in most reactions, and it also ...

A team in France has reported what is claimed to be a novel kind of laser emitting in the orange region of the spectrum, suggesting potential applications in flow cytometry and laser guide stars for ...
