TL;DR: It is argued that the observed superconductivity results directly from plutonium's anomalous electronic properties and as such serves as a bridge between two classes of spin-fluctuation-mediatedsuperconductors: the known heavy-fermion superconductors and the high-Tc copper oxides.

TL;DR: This critical review attempts to assess issues from the viewpoint of traditional composites thereby embedding these new materials in a wider context to which conventional composite theory can be applied.

TL;DR: The most remarkable advance that one can report as regards transuranium systems is certainly the discovery of superconductivity above 18 K in PuCoGa5 as discussed by the authors, and the new PuRhGa5 compound is also found to become superconducting above 8 K.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out a complete study (magnetic, electronic, dielectric, dynamic, and elastic properties) of the nickel hydroxide [Ni(OH)${}_{2}$] from first-principles calculations based on density functional theory.

TL;DR: The superconducting properties of the recently discovered PuMGa5 (M=Co,Rh) superconductors, including the power law behavior of the specific heat, the evolution of the superconductor transition T( c) temperature with pressure, and the linear relation between T(c) and ratio of tetragonal lattice parameters c/a, are compared to those of the heavy fermion CeMIn5 ( M= Co,Rh,Ir).
