Researchers discovered rutherfordium-252, the shortest-lived superheavy nucleus, refining the "island of stability" map and ...

In an experiment conducted at the Berkeley National Laboratory (United States) with the participation of a team from the IPHC, scientists have for the first time produced livermorium-290 (Z=116), ...

I picked up Racing Green by Kit Chapman, which I really enjoyed! So when I was interested in picking up more nonfiction, ...

This reaction resulted in the formation of Nihonium, accompanied by the emission of one neutron. 2 Flerovium (Fl) is a superheavy element (SHE) with atomic number 114. Experimental studies have shown ...

Neutrons become particularly important for ‘superheavy elements’, meaning those with 104 protons or more. Although too large to form in nature, or resist fission decay for long, since the 1960s ...

However, as the positively charged protons repel each other, nuclei with too many protons are at risk of splitting—a challenge in the production of new superheavy elements. Certain combinations ...

However, as the positively charged protons repel each other, nuclei with too many protons are at risk of splitting — a challenge in the production of new superheavy elements. Certain combinations of ...

However, as the positively charged protons repel each other, nuclei with too many protons are at risk of splitting — a challenge in the production of new, superheavy elements. Certain ...

After a breakdown in US-Russia relations, Riken finds itself ahead of its rivals. And Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory chases element 120 ...
