In the early nineteenth century chemists knew of the existence of
ninety-two chemical elements, from Hydrogen to Uranium. For nearly
forty years scientists thought they knew the content of our planet
and all of its contents. In the late 1930s the world of chemical
science began to discover elements beyond Uranium - the
'transuranics'. These new, super-heavy elements are probably not
found in nature at all but can be detected, if only for a few
fractions of a second, in precisely designed experiments using
powerful nuclear tools. On Beyond Uranium: Journey to the End of
the Periodic Table is full of exciting new concepts and tells the
story of the author's quest to discover elements never before known
to man.
