A team of researchers from GSI/FAIR, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz has succeeded in ...
Scientists have now possibly found a way to create new superheavy elements known as "element 119" and "element 120." They would be so hefty that they would need to be put in a new eighth row on ...
Element 120, if discovered, would be the 119th element on the periodic table and is theorized to exist within the “island of stability,” a region of superheavy elements with potentially longer ...
In the search for superheavy elements, element 112 was a stepping stone towards the 'islands of stability'. Sigurd Hofmann now relates the steps that led to its 'creation' and detection.
