Researchers discovered rutherfordium-252, the shortest-lived superheavy nucleus, refining the "island of stability" map and ...

In an experiment conducted at the Berkeley National Laboratory (United States) with the participation of a team from the IPHC ...

A team of researchers from GSI/FAIR, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz has succeeded in exploring the limits of the so-called island of stability within the ...

Superheavy elements, those with atomic numbers greater than 104, are a fascinating area of study in chemistry and physics. These elements are not only significant for their unique properties but ...

Researchers unveiled a super-strong nanoscale material made from the first two-dimensional mechanically interlocked polymers.

After a breakdown in US-Russia relations, Riken finds itself ahead of its rivals. And Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ...

Experimental observations of the half life of rutherfordium-252 demonstrate that its stability lies well within the limits required for full atoms to form ...

Yet there is also a class of elements so unstable they can only be made in a lab. These superheavy elements are the purview of a small group stretching the boundaries of chemistry. Can they extend the ...

However, as the positively charged protons repel each other, nuclei with too many protons are at risk of splitting -- a challenge in the production of new, superheavy elements. Certain ...
