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

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 ...

Measurements of collisions between small and large atomic nuclei by RIKEN physicists will inform the quest to produce new elements and could lead to new chemistry involving superheavy elements 1. Two ...

Superheavy elements, residing at the extreme end of the periodic table, represent an intriguing domain where relativistic effects and quantum electrodynamics profoundly shape chemical behaviour.

Four new elements joined the periodic table in 2016. These superheavy elements only exist for seconds at a time before they decay, making it hard for scientists to pin down their properties.

Although superheavy elements up to number 118 have been produced artificially, their atomic nuclei rapidly decay. A subtle quantum effect means that even heavier atomic nuclei above element 120 could ...

SuperHeavy is a band that shouldn't work. Sir Mick Jagger's latest side project is a genre-splicing supergroup, starring Damian Marley, Joss Stone and Slumdog Millionaire composer AR Rahman.

By firing calcium isotopes into a plutonium target inside a particle accelerator, scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have finally confirmed the Russian discovery of the superheavy ...
