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 ...

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 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 ...

For dinner tonight, you are being treated to the tasting menu of a lifetime. The periodic table of elements. Which elements would you be able to eat? Which ones would taste or smell funny? And which ...

Scientists have found a way to create superheavy elements, leading to groundbreaking possibilities in chemistry.

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

The chemical properties of two of the heaviest synthetic elements, moscovium and nihonium, have been established for the first time. Moscovium is now the heaviest element whose chemical properties we ...

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.

Scientists have found that our bodies need 28 different elements to function properly. These are almost one-quarter of the periodic table and are mainly found in the first four periods.

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

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