(LiveScience) Scientists in Japan think they've finally created the elusive element 113, one of the missing items on the periodic table of elements. Element 113 is an atom with 113 protons in its ...

Researchers may have found a way to create a new superheavy element, known as "element 120," which would be so hefty that it ...

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 ...

If accomplished, it will create element 120. This element is not expected to be stable, but it is another step on the path toward potential new elements that may be stable and useful in the future.

The heaviest element yet found is one step closer to joining the periodic table. That’s thanks to an international team of scientists at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, ...
