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

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

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

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 ...

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

From the outset, my team wanted to figure out the mass density of these superheavy elements. This property could tell us more about how the atomic nuclei of these elements behave. And once we had ...

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 ...

Scientists at the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have confirmed the production of the superheavy element 114, ten years after a group at the Joint Institute for ...

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 ...
