This achievement marks a significant step towards the creation of element 120, the heaviest element yet to be discovered. The researchers successfully synthesized element 116, livermorium ...

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

Currently, there are 118 known elements on the periodic table, from hydrogen all the way to oganesson, which was officially ...

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

The scientists hope to create an element that will be the heaviest ever produced: unbinilium, with 120 protons. Researchers fused isotopes of titanium and plutonium to make element 116. (Jenny ...
