Albert Ghiorso holds the @guinnessworldrecords for discovering/co-discovering the most chemical elements! Ghiorso identified roughly one element every 3 years for over 30 years, working w/ scientists at @berkeleylab. Can you name some of the elements attributed to him?

Hydrogen has a range of applications, from powering fuel cell electric vehicles to producing synthetic fuels. But for now, most hydrogen production is driven by fossil fuels. With the help of nuclear power, that may change soon. #Atoms4Climate

In its 20th year, the Amendment to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material has expanded the treaty to include nuclear smuggling and sabotage of nuclear facilities as crimes. Read on:
