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 ...

Naturally occurring superheavy elements beyond those listed in the periodic table could potentially explain why asteroid 33 Polyhymnia is so dense, new research suggests. When you purchase through ...

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 ...

New isotope "lawrencium-266" also detected“Ununseptium” or the superheavy element Z = 117 could finally be ready to be added to the periodic table. An international collaboration has produced four ...

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

SuperHeavy's credentials don't read much like those of most new bands. Its members boast 11 Grammy Awards between them, legendary parents, record sales in the millions and multiple Academy Awards ...

From the outset, my team wanted to figure out the mass density of these superheavy elements. This property could tell us more about how the atomic nuclei of these elements behave. And once we had ...

Tim Dean quotes David Hinde of the Australian National University at Canberra, who believes that superheavy elements may not form in supernovae because of the very short spontaneous-fission half ...

By firing calcium isotopes into a plutonium target inside a particle accelerator, scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have finally confirmed the Russian discovery of the superheavy ...
