Seaborg's group was responsible for the discovery and isolation of several elements, primarily in the actinide and transactinide series. Notably, they named elements 96 (curium, Cm), 97 (berkelium, Bk), 98 (californium, Cf), 99 (einsteinium, Es), and 100 (fermium, Fm). Additionally, they contributed to the naming of elements 101 (mendelevium, Md), 102 (nobelium, No), and 103 (lawrencium, Lr). Seaborg's work significantly advanced the field of nuclear chemistry and the study of heavy elements.
