Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The ...

In an unprecedentedly precise accelerator experiment, researchers directly observed how some of the heaviest known elements ...

The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could ...

Although superheavy elements up to number 118 have been produced artificially, their atomic nuclei rapidly decay. A subtle quantum effect means that even heavier atomic nuclei above element 120 could ...

Because superheavy gravitinos would interact with regular matter through the electromagnetic and strong nuclear forces, they could leave ionization tracks in rocks.
