Researchers created atoms of the superheavy element livermorium using a new technique in the Berkeley Lab's 88-Inch Cyclotron machine. They believe the same technique could be used to make unbinilium.

The more protons and neutrons scientists squeeze together to construct a “superheavy” atomic nucleus—one with a total number of protons greater than 103—the more fragile the resulting ...

Gates is a nuclear chemist with a wry sense of humor and a clear fondness for the equipment that she and her team have developed to synthesize superheavy elements. They create these elements by ...

Over the past few decades, scientists in the United States, Germany and Russia have figured out how to use special tools to combine two atomic nuclei and create new, superheavy elements.

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 ...

Now, researchers from Max Planck have proposed a new hypothetical particle that might be behind dark matter – the superheavy gravitino – and outlined just how we might find them. As far back ...

David Hinde receives funding from the Australian Research Council for research into nuclear reactions forming superheavy elements. The hunt for long-lived superheavy elements has taken another ...

New superheavy elements can be uniquely identified Date: August 30, 2013 Source: Universität Mainz Summary: Researchers presents fresh evidence that confirms the existence of the superheavy ...

Lurking at the fringes of the periodic table, superheavy element 115 has been a favoured material in UFO conspiracy theories and video games. Now we may have evidence that it actually exists.

And if SuperHeavy never quite answers that question, the group certainly has fun dodging it in bluesy soul-rock jams smeared with reggae grooves and Bollywood strings. Famous people! B- ...

The mere existence of superheavy elements has been a longstanding fundamental scientific problem. How can a nucleus with a large atomic number, such as Z = 112, survive the huge electrostatic ...
