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

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 ...

The chemical properties of two of the heaviest synthetic elements, moscovium and nihonium, have been established for the first time. Moscovium is now the heaviest element whose chemical properties we ...

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

Our collective perception of flame is clouded. When asked to picture a flame, most people probably envision an orange streak ...

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

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

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

Advancements in nuclear physics suggest the possibility of discovering stable, superheavy elements. Researchers have found an ...

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 ...
