Californium Posters and Art Prints

A classy Californium design. Californium is a radioactive metallic chemical element with symbol Cf and atomic number 98. The element was first made in 1950 at the University of California Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley, by bombarding curium with alpha particles (helium-4 ions). It is an actinide element, the sixth transuranium element to be synthesized, and has the second-highest atomic mass of all the elements that have been produced in amounts large enough to see with the unaided eye (after einsteinium).

Cf is the periodic table element symbol for the radioactive metal californium, named for the great state of California.

The orbitals are swirling in Storistir to make holiday ornaments! Californium, element 98, was named after the University of California Radiation Laboratory in California, a state that is home to the tallest trees (Redwoods), widest trees (Sequoias) and oldest trees (Bristlecones). Californium is a strong neutron emitter used in portable detectors to find corrosion, bad welds, cracks, oil layers, precious metal ores, etc.

Here's a fun phrase made using the Californium element tile. Californium girls would be radioactive and toxic, but still...

The actinides are not only radioactive, but they have been used in warfare. Little Boy was an uranium bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Fat Man was a plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki.
