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

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

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 ...

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.

For decades, scientists have looked for materials that could make superconductivity -- the lossless transmission of electricity -- possible at higher temperatures, such as room temperature. That would ...

New materials designed by a University of Illinois Chicago graduate student may help scientists meet one of today's biggest ...

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

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