Researchers may be nearing the creation of element 120. Element 120 would add a new row to the periodic table. New ion-bombardment technique may be the key to synthesising unbinilium.

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 ...

University of Liverpool researchers are part of an international research collaboration that has shed light on what happens ...

An international team of astronomers has inspected long-term evolution of quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) from a QPE source designated eRO-QPE2. The study found that QPEs from this source are ...

Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The team believes this method could potentially help synthesize the hypothetical ...

A graduate student at the University of Illinois Chicago has developed new materials that could help scientists tackle one of ...

It took weeks to observe the behavior of one and a half dozen precious, but very short-lived, atoms of these exotic elements.
