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

In a feat of modern-day alchemy, scientists have used a beam of vaporized titanium to create one of the heaviest elements on ...

The ions formed have a full outer electron shell, so are very stable. See the study guide on groups in the periodic table for more information.

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

They all have a link to the periodic table, which turned 150 in 2019 ... Curium is made by bombarding plutonium with helium ions and makes this list because its compounds glow in the dark.

Advancements in nuclear physics suggest the possibility of discovering stable, superheavy elements. Researchers have found an ...

The characteristics of hydrogen storage are very complementary to other shorter-term energy storage technologies such as lithium-ion batteries. There are manageable safety risks of overpressure ...

Where does the periodic table of chemical elements end and which processes lead to the existence of heavy elements? Researchers report on experiments to come closer to an answer. They gained insight ...
