Gates is a nuclear chemist with a wry sense of humor and a clear fondness for the equipment that she and her team have developed to synthesize superheavy elements. They create these elements by ...

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators have ...

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 more protons and neutrons scientists squeeze together to construct a “superheavy” atomic nucleus—one with a total number of protons greater than 103—the more fragile the resulting ...

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators have ...

With this success, a new pathway for the synthesis of superheavy nuclei has emerged. A pathway that should allow the ...

Lurking at the fringes of the periodic table, superheavy element 115 has been a favoured material in UFO conspiracy theories and video games. Now we may have evidence that it actually exists.

Millions of asteroids are floating in space in the massive expanse between Mars and Jupiter, thousands of which are close enough to our planet to be deemed "near-Earth asteroids." While the ...

SuperHeavy's credentials don't read much like those of most new bands. Its members boast 11 Grammy Awards between them, legendary parents, record sales in the millions and multiple Academy Awards ...

Naturally occurring superheavy elements beyond those listed in the periodic table could potentially explain why asteroid 33 Polyhymnia is so dense, new research suggests. A handful of asteroids in ...

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