A team of scientists set out to probe some of the heaviest elements in the periodic table using an advanced form of laser ...

Researchers from the University of Liverpool are part of an international collaboration that has made significant advances in ...

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.

University of Liverpool researchers are part of an international research collaboration that has shed light on what happens ...

The Radiation Detected Resonance Ionisation Spectroscopy setup, located downstream of the UNILAC accelerator, rotating target wheel and ...

In a study published in the journal Nature, the research team provide insight into the structure of atomic nuclei of fermium (element 100) and nobelium (element 102) with different numbers of neutrons ...

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 ...

It took weeks to observe the behavior of one and a half dozen precious, but very short-lived, atoms of these exotic elements.

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.

Physicists have synthesized the element livermorium, which has the atomic number 116, using an unprecedented approach 1 that promises to open the way to new, record-breaking elements. The heaviest ...

There is a theory in nuclear physics about an island of stability of superheavy elements. This is a potential zone in the upper part of the periodic table of as-yet-undiscovered elements that ...
