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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Vain search at Berkeley Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory of the University of California last week disclosed that after searching in vain for almost two years they have become very ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
