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 ...

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 ...

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

Superheavy nuclei, which extend far beyond the naturally occurring elements, are at the forefront of nuclear structure research. These systems, characterised by exceptionally large proton numbers ...

SuperHeavy: SuperHeavy, CD review SuperHeavy has an audably boisterous appeal. By Andrew Perry 15 September 2011 • 1:06pm ...

Superheavy nuclei: Atomic nuclei with an extremely high number of protons, typically beyond uranium, where complex nuclear forces and quantum shell effects confer unexpected stability.

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.

Because superheavy gravitinos would interact with regular matter through the electromagnetic and strong nuclear forces, they could leave ionization tracks in rocks.

SuperHeavy's credentials don't read much like those of most new bands. Its members boast 11 Grammy Awards between them, legendary parents, record sales in the millions and multiple Academy Awards ...

Tim Dean quotes David Hinde of the Australian National University at Canberra, who believes that superheavy elements may not form in supernovae because of the very short spontaneous-fission half ...

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 ...
