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 ...

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

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 ...

Naturally occurring superheavy elements beyond those listed in the periodic table could potentially explain why asteroid 33 Polyhymnia is so dense, new research suggests. When you purchase through ...

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.

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 ...

The Superheavy Element Group at the RNC in Wako, Japan, optimized the seaborgium production in the fusion process of a neon beam (element 10) with a curium target (element 96) and isolated it in ...

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 ...
