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 at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory say they have developed the technology that could finally produce the fabled element 120, which would require the addition of a new row to the ...

For over a decade, Vittoria Brambilla has been trying to improve crops’ quality, yields, and nutritional value. But the botany researcher at the University of Milan feared her studies might ...
