| Recurrence of the maxillary tumor was treated by 2 courses of radiotherapy, followed by californium 252 brachytherapy totaling 4000 rad. |
|
| It is prepared artificially in particle accelerators by bombarding heavy transuranium elements, such as californium, with alpha particles. |
|
| Lawrencium was created by bombarding californium with boron, and only a few of these atoms have ever been produced. |
|
| Following up on berkelium, dubnium and californium, researchers at the University of Berkely in California, stumbled upon am element with atomic number 117 about a year ago. |
|
| The New Yorker wondered why they had not gone for broke, naming these two universitium and offium so as to reserve berkelium and californium for the next two elements. |
|
| Metallic californium has been prepared and is structurally similar to metallic americium, curium, berkelium, and most lanthanoid metals. |
|
| There are reasons for expecting the existence of this state in some of the elements heavier than californium. |
|
| The element was produced by the irradiation of atoms of actinide elements with heavy ions, such as bombarding californium with carbon. |
|
| In the future, other isotopes of californium could be employed in deep drilling operations. |
|
| Like other Actinides, exposure to radioactive californium tends to harm the skeletal system by damaging the body's red blood cell forming mechanisms. |
|
| Under certain conditions, for example, actinium, americium, curium, berkelium, and californium metals have the same crystal structure, as do many of the lanthanoids. |
|
| Californium is a highly radioactive, silvery metal named after the state of California where it was discovered. |
|
| Californium is used in moisture gauges for the determination of water and oil-bearing layers in oil wells. |
|
| Californium is attacked by oxygen, steam, and acids, but not alkalis. |
