Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The ...

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 ...

Scientists might be close to producing a new, incredibly heavy element called "element 120." This element would be so massive that it would need a new row on the periodic table, which is the chart ...

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.

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

When it comes to important elements on the periodic table, few hold even a candle to atomic number 6–carbon. You’ve likely ...
