Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has announced a new way to reliably make element 116, livermorium. The results, made by ...

Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom. Iron is an ...

A research team has discovered clusters of aluminum atoms that have chemical properties similar to single atoms of metallic and nonmetallic elements when they react with iodine. The discovery opens ...

The study, led by Xiaochen Jin, used machine learning to determine that the atomic structure of Group 4 alloys, which ...

WASHINGTON -- Five years of preparation, eight months collecting a few drops of precious radioactive material from a nuclear reactor in Tennessee, five trans-Atlantic flights, millions in research ...

(CNN) -- As though it wasn't hard enough to memorize the names and atomic weights of 117 elements in the periodic table, scientists have now confirmed a new one. Researchers from Lund University in ...

The chemical identity of individual atoms on a surface can now be determined using an incredibly powerful atomic force microscope. It means that scientists can now look at a mixed material and pick ...

A team of Russian and American scientists has discovered a new element that has long stood as a missing link among the heaviest bits of atomic matter ever produced. The element, still nameless, ...
