Thirty seven papers are gathered here, from the Actinides 2008--Basic Science, Applications and Technology Symposium, held in March 2008 at the Materials Research Society Spring Meeting in San Francisco. They focus on fundamental actinide science and its function in resolving technical issues caused by actinides materials. Basic and applied experimental approaches, and theoretical modeling and computational simulation are addressed. Papers cover phase transformation and metallurgy; electron correlations and structure; nuclear fuel, waste and storage; actinide chemistry; spectroscopy and microscopy; atomistic modeling; and superconductivity and complex behavior. The contributors and editors are chemists, physicists, and others working in the US, Europe, and China.
