When it comes to plutonium, things are complicated. The radioactive element comes with a lot of technical and regulatory baggage. Now, a team at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Washington State University have used fluorine-19 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to take a close look at the element's inner electronic secrets when it finds itself in the superficially simple compound plutonium tetrafluoride.
