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

In an unprecedentedly precise accelerator experiment, researchers directly observed how some of the heaviest known elements ...

The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could ...

Superheavy elements, residing at the extreme end of the periodic table, represent an intriguing domain where relativistic effects and quantum electrodynamics profoundly shape chemical behaviour.

Superheavy science: Lab's actinide abilities enable the discovery of new elements It's elemental—scientists agree that the periodic table is incomplete.

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung have discovered a new superheavy isotope, 257 Sg (seaborgium), whose properties are ...

One such rock is 33 Polyhymnia, located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Scientists have long been puzzled by its density, as the 34-mile-wide (55 kilometers) object does not have ...

Because superheavy gravitinos would interact with regular matter through the electromagnetic and strong nuclear forces, they could leave ionization tracks in rocks.
