Physicists have recently synthesized a new transfermium isotope lawrencium-251 and studied the α decay of lawrencium-253 in more detail. This is the first new lawrencium isotope synthesized directly over the past two decades and it is also the first new isotope synthesized using the Argonne Gas-Filled Analyzer (AGFA) at the Argonne National Laboratory. The study has been published in Physical Review C.
