Paramagnetism[edit]
Someone whose exotic-magnetism chops are less rusty than mine should express an opinion as to whether Study confirms, Plutonium has no Magnetism (currently cited under Science, but no subheading, on Google News) and/or other new Google hits indeed require updating our coverage on the accompanying article, which appears to me be satisfied (as of an unrelated edit an hour ago) with "Magnetic ordering [is] paramagnetic" (in the InfoBox) as the only magnetism-relevant fact.
It also makes me wonder if the new result suggests the paramagnetism would extinguish at temperatures sufficiently low that thermal noise is lower than energy-level differences anomalously close between states differing (i presume) in more than a single quantum number ....? (I'd bet there are at least some editors who have a better idea than i about which related but more general quantum-magnetism topics are likely to have been edited by the most suitable editors for the task.)

- You are right. Allcaps is in place, even. I have deleted that phrase. -DePiep (talk) 21:49, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
Criticality potential[edit]
Plutonium in solution is more likely to form a critical mass than the solid form due to moderation by the hydrogen in water.[10]
Umm i think this is misstated. Believe this should say "LESS" likely to form critical mass when moderated as an aqueous solution vs a solid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.113.58.160 (talk) 16:22, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
