I’m aware. I was asking how; if they could make an artificial one. If it’s completely impossible fine; but I was thinking speculatively. Ray Kurzweil often said femtotech could create a new periodic table.Vanadium 50 said:No isotope of promethium is stable.
There is nothing that one could do 'chemically' to change the nuclear properties of a nucleus.Maximum7 said:Summary: Discussing theoretical chemistry and what would it take to make artificial Promethium
I know Promethium-147 is semi-stable.
A hypothetical stable isotope of Promethium is a version of the element Promethium (Pm) that has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus, making it more stable and less radioactive.
Currently, there is no evidence of a stable isotope of Promethium. All known isotopes of Promethium are radioactive and decay over time.
A stable isotope of Promethium would have a longer half-life and would not release harmful radiation, making it safer to handle and use in scientific research and applications.
A stable isotope of Promethium could potentially be created through nuclear reactions, such as bombarding a stable isotope of another element with high-energy particles. However, this has not yet been achieved in a laboratory setting.
A stable isotope of Promethium could have various uses in scientific research, such as in nuclear medicine and imaging, as well as in industrial applications, such as in batteries and nuclear reactors. It could also have potential uses in developing new technologies and materials.
