A global research collaboration, including scientists from the University of Liverpool, has provided new insights into superheavy elements by exami ...

Researchers have long been hunting for a way to make the elusive elements more stable so they can be better studied.

Scientists might be close to producing a new, incredibly heavy element called "element 120." This element would be so massive that it would need a new row on the periodic table, which is the chart ...

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 ...

There is plenty of interesting biography in here, explaining how a Polish governess named Marya Sklodowska transformed ...

Marie Curie had an extraordinary life, but as Glenda Cooper finds out in this new biography by Dava Sobel, Curie also led the ...

Scientists have found that our bodies need 28 different elements to function properly. These are almost one-quarter of the periodic table and are mainly found in the first four periods.

Physicists have synthesized the element livermorium, which has the atomic number 116, using an unprecedented approach 1 that promises to open the way to new, record-breaking elements. The heaviest ...

Many IT product names hide a story, a joke, or a message. We reveal what lies behind the seemingly normal names of hardware ...

There is a theory in nuclear physics about an island of stability of superheavy elements. This is a potential zone in the upper part of the periodic table of as-yet-undiscovered elements that ...
