For the first time, physicists have observed excited states in the very neutron-deficient odd-odd nucleus, lanthanum-120. The study, published in Physics Letters B, was conducted by researchers from ...

Researchers measured very precisely atomic masses of radioactive lanthanum isotopes and found an interesting feature in their nuclear binding energies. The discovery provides essential data for ...

Nanoparticle research has found a number of applications in a variety of fields, which were not possible earlier with elements in their original states. This article will elaborate on the properties ...

Lanthanum is widely spread in the Earth's crust and does not occur in a single place like copper or zinc. Lanthanum is a relatively abundant element at about 18 parts per million. Monazite, bastnasite ...

This article discusses about the properties and applications of lanthanum oxide nanoparticles. Lanthanum is a Block F, Period 6 element, while oxygen is a Block P, Period 2 element. Lanthanum oxide is ...

Lanthanum trihydride, a compound of lanthanum and hydrogen, when lightly doped with oxygen shows potential as an efficient hydrogen carrier, according to a new study. Hydride ion (H--) conductors are ...
