Researchers may have found a way to create a new superheavy element, known as "element 120," which would be so hefty that it ...

Scientists have now possibly found a way to create new superheavy elements known as "element 119" and "element 120." They would be so hefty that they would need to be put in a new eighth row on ...

The lifetime of element 117 bolsters confidence in theories that predict that superheavy elements occupy an "island of stability" in a chart of elements and their isotopes. The island is indicated ...

Yet there is also a class of elements so unstable they can only be made in a lab. These superheavy elements are the purview of a small group stretching the boundaries of chemistry. Can they extend the ...

In the following quiz, test your knowledge of some chemistry basics and learn more about scientists' quest to produce a more stable superheavy element in a realm they call the "Island of Stability ...

In the search for superheavy elements, element 112 was a stepping stone towards the 'islands of stability'. Sigurd Hofmann now relates the steps that led to its 'creation' and detection.

PARIS, January 29. /TASS/. Russian scientists will hold the first experiments at the Super-Heavy Element Factory in Dubna near Moscow in April to synthesize the 114th and 115th elements of ...

The Nishina Center promotes researches on the synthesis of superheavy elements with one prime example being nihonium, researches in the fields of magic numbers, nucleosynthesis in the universe, and ...
