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

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 ...

Scientists have found that our bodies need 28 different elements to function properly. These are almost one-quarter of the periodic table and are mainly found in the first four periods.

But fusing a titanium beam with plutonium to create livermorium is just a test run for much bigger (or rather, heavier) ...

The search for new elements comes from the dream of finding a variant that is sufficiently stable to be long-lived and not ...

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

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

After delivering facts about metals and exuberantly showing off “cool rocks,” Laura Branch veered totally off the topic of ...

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

This provides evidence that pyrene might’ve been the the source of carbon in our own Solar System. When it comes to important ...

Scientists at Berkeley Lab are using a new technique to create increasingly heavier elements, with the goal of reaching ...

Scientists have found an alternative way to produce atoms of the superheavy element livermorium. The new method opens up the possibility of creating another element that could be the heaviest in the ...
