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

Most super-heavy elements last just microseconds or nanoseconds before decaying. Yet, scientists have predicted that an "island of stability" exists where super-heavy elements become stable again.

Element 115 is referred to as ununpentium or Uup; 117 is called ununseptium or Uus; and 118 is called ununoctium or Uuo. The team will get to choose the permanent names for the new elements as well.

Newly discovered element 117 is a step toward useful super-heavy elements The newest, heaviest element has been confirmed under laboratory conditions, and its synthesis could help produce even ...

The new elements are known as super-heavy elements because the nuclei of their atoms are so enormous. Element 118, for example, is the heaviest element to date, with 118 protons alongside 176 ...

The four elements, which have atomic numbers of 113, 115, 117 and 118, respectively, do not occur naturally and were created in labs. Once created, the nuclei of these super-heavy elements quickly ...

A joint research group has successfully developed a "nanoporous super multi-element catalyst" that contains 14 elements which are mixed uniformly at the atomic level and used as a catalyst. This ...
