The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could ...

In an unprecedentedly precise accelerator experiment, researchers directly observed how some of the heaviest known elements ...

Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The ...

The first estimate of superheavy element flerovium’s melting point predicts that it is likely a liquid at room temperature. And although element 114 has a closed-shell configuration similar to a noble ...

New isotope "lawrencium-266" also detected“Ununseptium” or the superheavy element Z = 117 could finally be ready to be added to the periodic table. An international collaboration has produced four ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung have discovered a new superheavy isotope, 257 Sg (seaborgium), whose properties are ...

The hunt for long-lived superheavy elements has taken another leap forward now we’ve confirmed the existence of Element 117, also known as ununseptium. It was first seen briefly by a team of US ...
