Researchers may have found a way to create a new superheavy element, known as "element 120," which would be so hefty that it would need to be put in a new row on the periodic table of elements. If ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are using the 88-Inch Cyclotron to help steady ...

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.

To expand the periodic table, it might be time to go titanium. A new study lays the groundwork to expand the periodic table with a search for element 120, to be made by slamming electrically ...

A team of Russian and American scientists has stretched the margins of the periodic table by creating a new element, No. 118, which is heavier than any other yet produced, the scientists reported ...

There a joint effort between Russian and US physicists first created superheavy element 117 – now we're just a whole lot closer to making it Periodic Table official.

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 ...

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 ...
