Dr. Darleane C. Hoffman of the Nuclear Science Division of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Department of Chemistry at the University of California at Berkeley has written and presented several papers documenting her work and that of her team on the laboratory production of transactinide and actinide elements one-atom-at-a-time. She explains the difficulty of determining the chemistry of heavy elements How long does an atom need to exist before it s possible to do any meaningful chemistry on it Is it possible to learn anything at all about the reactions of an element for which no more... 

Darleane Hoffman was born on November 8,1926, in Terril, Iowa. She began her college career at Iowa State College (now University) as an art major. She decided to switch her major from art to chemistry in part because of the influence of her first chemistry professor, also a woman. 

We wish to thank the symposium participants and each author who contributed to this book. Our special appreciation goes to Dr. Darleane C. Hoffman, who served as chairperson of the Division of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology during the meeting, for her support and encouragement in this endeavor.
