In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung have discovered ...

These elements may be overrepresented because they are the result of heavy or superheavy elements breaking apart via fission. The findings hint that nuclei with as many as 260 protons and neutrons ...

An international research team led by GSI/FAIR, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) has succeeded in the production of a new seaborgium isotope. In the ...

This could open up newer possibilities in making superheavy elements in the lab and understanding nuclear stability at higher ...

Researchers created atoms of the superheavy element livermorium using a new technique in the Berkeley Lab's 88-Inch Cyclotron machine. They believe the same technique could be used to make unbinilium.

The new elements are known as super-heavy elements because the nuclei of their atoms are so enormous. Element 118, for example, is the heaviest element to date, with 118 protons alongside 176 ...

A novel way of making superheavy elements could soon add a new row to the periodic table, allowing scientists to explore uncharted atomic realms. Skip to main content. Scientific American.

Scientists at the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have confirmed the production of the superheavy element 114, ten years after a group at the Joint Institute for ...

Superheavy elements allow nuclear physicists to explore concepts such as “magic numbers” and the “island of stability”, which help us understand why some nuclei are more stable than others. They can ...

Such elements in the “island of stability” could provide exciting opportunities for discovery of new chemistry and novel properties. “Continued progress in superheavy element research,” Roberto ...

No super heavy elements. Third, another asteroid has been found with super high density. This density was later shown to be inaccurate from further measurements.

Classifying the asteroid as a compact ultradense object (CUDO,) the team realized that Polyhymnia may be composed of superheavy elements previously unknown to humans. In other words, it contains ...
