The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

Fermium studies indicate nuclear shell effects diminish as nuclear mass increases, emphasizing macroscopic influences in ...

His principal contribution to chemistry was the 'vis tellurique' (telluric screw), a three-dimensional arrangement of the elements constituting an early form of the periodic classification, published ...

Physicists have synthesized the element livermorium, which has the atomic number 116, using an unprecedented approach 1 that promises to open the way to new, record-breaking elements. The heaviest ...

Using lasers beams to measure the nuclear radius of isotopes at the end of periodic table. Elements at the end of the ...

Researchers have long been hunting for a way to make the elusive elements more stable so they can be better studied.

TULELA: And conveniently, the number of protons that an element of a particular atom has is also how we define the atom’s atomic number. SUNAYANA: I also like to think of the atomic number as ...

Researchers from the University of Liverpool are part of an international collaboration that has made significant advances in ...

Livermorium was first synthesized back in 2000, and it's not the heaviest element humans have created (that would be ...

influence the rate at which elements form in stars and help to determine which materials make the best nuclear fuel. “The shape of nuclei affects almost all aspects of atomic nucleus and nuclear ...

The heaviest abundant element known to exist is uranium, with 92 protons (the atomic number "Z"). But scientists have succeeded in synthesizing superheavy elements up to oganesson, with a Z of 118.
