Scientists have created six new isotopes of the superheavy elements, reaching in an unbroken chain of decays from element 114 down to rutherfordium. The discovery is a major step toward understanding ...

Researchers used a particle accelerator and co-precipitation to study the chemical reactivity of single rutherfordium atoms. Such experiments will continue the advancement of relativistic chemistry ...

Scientists just announced that they have created and observed a new super-heavy element— element 117, which had been temporarily dubbed “ununseptium.” This element was one of the missing pieces of the ...

Chemists searching for the island of stability now have a better map. Thanks to the discovery of six new variations of the superheavy elements on the bottom rung of the periodic table, scientists are ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- A team of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has detected six isotopes, never seen before, of the superheavy elements 104 through 114.

The production of six new heavy isotopes promises to shed light on the shell model for nuclear structure of the periodic table's heavier elements. The new nuclei — which fit into the periodic table ...

A new periodic table developed by online educators allows users to become more familiar with different elements by showing them how each one can be used in practical applications. Keith Enevoldsen ...

Berkeley, CA—A team of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has detected six isotopes, never seen before, of the superheavy elements 104 through 114.

Six isotopes, never seen before, of the superheavy elements 104 through 114A have been detected by a team of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
