More than 5,000 planets have been discovered beyond our solar system, allowing scientists to explore planetary evolution and ...

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 ...

I’d say that SuperHeavy is probably the most well-known entry on this list. Still, not everybody knows that The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger once formed a supergroup with Dave Stewart of ...

Changes to the periodic table, including new elements and updated atomic weights, highlight its dynamic nature and the evolution of chemical science.

While other superheavy elements have half-lives measured in milliseconds, the predicted combination of protons and neutrons could make element 120 much more long-lived.

Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The team believes this method could potentially help synthesize the hypothetical ...

What is the heaviest element in the universe? Are there infinitely many elements? Where and how could superheavy elements be created naturally?

Element 120 would be part of the so-called island of stability, a class of superheavy elements that would survive longer than the superheavy elements discovered so far.

Up to that time, all the discovered superheavy elements are radioactive and unstable; they do not exist for longer than a few microseconds in some cases because of radioactive decay.

Studying the Periodic Table of Elements and the nuclear landscape in the superheavy region will generate new ideas and methods that will impact nuclear and atomic physics, astrophysics, and chemistry.
