Where does the periodic table of chemical elements end and which processes lead to the existence of heavy elements? Researchers report on experiments to come closer to an answer. They gained insight ...

However, its position in row six of the periodic table means bismuth also possesses some unusual heavy-atom properties. "Chemical elements found after the f-block in the periodic table have their ...

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

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

118 Elements and Their Symbols and Atomic Numbers: The periodic table is a well-organized chart that contains all the known elements in the universe. These elements are building blocks of matter ...

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

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

Advancements in nuclear physics suggest the possibility of discovering stable, superheavy elements. Researchers have found an ...

Scientists at Berkeley Lab are using a new technique to create increasingly heavier elements, with the goal of reaching ...

Is the periodic table ... and David F. McFarland discovered significant amounts of helium in a natural gas sample from Dexter, Kansas. In the mid-1930s, chemists and physicists, became intrigued with ...

These elements tend to come from two specific areas of the periodic table: the d-block metals like cobalt, nickel, and iron, and the f-block actinides lanthanides, which include the rare-earth ...

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