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

The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

In recent decades, researchers have pushed the boundaries of the periodic table, synthesizing the heaviest elements known to ...

Scientists have found a way to create superheavy elements, leading to groundbreaking possibilities in chemistry.

An international team led by scientists of GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Helmholtz ...

But how many of these elements do you know? Test your knowledge and compete with other Live Science readers to see who can come top in our periodic table quiz. The periodic table of elements is a ...

Just four years before Mendeleev announced his periodic table, Newlands noticed that there were similarities between elements with atomic weights that differed by seven. He called this The Law of ...

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

But fusing a titanium beam with plutonium to create livermorium is just a test run for much bigger (or rather, heavier) ...

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 ...
