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

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

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

In his adult life he was a brilliant scientist, rising quickly in academic circles. He wrote a textbook, Chemical Principles, because he couldn’t find an adequate Russian book. Mendeleev discovered ...

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

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

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

Can you name everything from Ac to Zr? Test your knowledge of the periodic table and see if you can top the leaderboard ...

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory say they have discovered a new way to create superheavy elements.

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 ...
