Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom. Iron is an ...

The experiment paves the way to potentially making an entirely new one: element 120, also known as the "island of stability." Reading time 2 minutes A team of scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley ...

Yeah! Science! For the first time, scientists at Berkeley Lab have synthesized element 116 (livermorium) using a titanium particle beam. Previously, physicists created livermorium atoms using a ...

Researchers have successfully made super-heavy element 116 using a beam of titanium-50. That milestone sets the team up to attempt making the heaviest element yet: 120. Scientists at the Department of ...

The world of physics is getting ready to fill in yet another blank space in the periodic table of the elements, after an international research team created a few atoms of element 117 in a particle ...

If you were to take every element in the periodic table and order them by how abundant they are in the Universe, you'd find something a little bit surprising. The most common element is hydrogen, ...
