The Glenn T. Seaborg Center (GTSC) is a national facility founded in 1999 at Berkeley Lab, now with sister centers in other National Laboratories. The GTSC was created in memory of Seaborg's legacy in research, teaching, and service to the country.
The GTSC has a dual mission of scientific research and education.
Our scientific goal is to understand fundamental heavy element chemical interactions in complex systems at the molecular level and across multiple length scales.
Our educational mission is to train the current and next generation of scientists and thought leaders with proficiency in heavy element science.
Our dual mission supports the U. S. Department of Energy's critical role as the provider of fundamental, transformative science and trained personnel to meet national needs in energy, environmental, health and security challenges, now and into the future.

Breakthrough in heavy-element chemistry shatters long-held assumptions about transuranium elements.
Researchers grew crystals containing actinium and illuminated them with X-rays to learn how the radioactive metal binds with other elements. That information could help design better cancer treatments.
Researchers at Berkeley Lab’s 88-Inch Cyclotron successfully made superheavy element 116 using a beam of titanium-50, setting up the team to attempt making the heaviest element yet: 120.
