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

Scientists have found a way to create superheavy elements, leading to groundbreaking possibilities in chemistry.

Scientists might be close to producing a new, incredibly heavy element called "element 120." This element would be so massive that it would need a new row on the periodic table, which is the chart ...

In recent decades, researchers have pushed the boundaries of the periodic table, synthesizing the heaviest elements known to ...

Researchers have long been hunting for a way to make the elusive elements more stable so they can be better studied.

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.

All life on Earth is based on the element carbon, but scientists aren’t sure what initially supplied all that carbon to our ...

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

Chemistry students at Anderson showed up to school bright and early to carve pumpkins and create the periodic table of ...

But fusing a titanium beam with plutonium to create livermorium is just a test run for much bigger (or rather, heavier) ...

An international team led by scientists of GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Helmholtz ...

This last facet of her story is at the core of Dava Sobel’s new book, The Elements of Marie Curie, which follows 2016’s The ...
