Title: Glenn Seaborg and Albert Ghiorso
Description: All the main components of Lawrence's interdisciplinary establishment prospered under the new regime of peacetime financial support for scientific research. In the "Hot Lab," the most prominent locus of nuclear chemistry at the Laboratory, Seaborg, Albert Ghiorso, James Kennedy, B. B. Cunningham, and others elaborated the rich and varied chemical properties of the actinide elements. After their return to Berkeley, Seaborg and his associates synthesized additional members of the series, berkelium (97), californium (98), and mendelevium (101), in the 60-inch cyclotron. (The preceding information was excerpted from the text of the Fall 1981 issue of LBL Newsmagazine.) Nuclear chemistry prospered in the postwar era with the discovery of several new elements by the team including Glen Seaborg (left) and Albert Ghiorso.
