The periodic table is about to get a little bit longer, thanks to the addition of four super-heavy elements. The discoveries of elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 were confirmed last week by the ...

We’ve reached the limit of a very successful way to make new elements in the lab. In new research, scientists unveil a new take on that technology and report its success. The heaviest elements could ...

Land ahoy! Experiments at GSI/FAIR reveal the shoreline of the island of stability of super-heavy elements Date: January 15, 2025 Source: GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH Summary: A ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are using the 88-Inch Cyclotron to help steady the famous periodic table of elements one atom at a time where it's gone a ...

A Russian-American team working at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia, has created two new super-heavy elements, with atomic numbers 113 and 115. The team produced only four ...

This field encompasses advanced techniques that utilise laser light to selectively ionise heavy atoms, including actinides and super-heavy elements, thereby facilitating the investigation of their ...

The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could successfully predict their masses, densities, how they would link up with other ...

A multinational team of scientists has isolated four new superheavy elements that sit at the very end of the periodic table, completing the seventh row. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share ...
