Definition
- 1Élément chimique découvert dans la thorianite par Masataka Ogawa, travaillant au University College de Londres sous William Ramsay. Son symbole était Np. Il pensait que son numéro atomique était 43 (le technétium), mais une révision moderne (2004) de ses travaux laisse plutôt penser qu’il avait découvert le rhénium (numéro atomique 75), qui manquait alors aussi au tableau périodique des éléments.
