Researchers may have found a way to create a new superheavy element, known as "element 120," which would be so hefty that it ...

With this success, a new pathway for the synthesis of superheavy nuclei has emerged. A pathway that should allow the production of new nuclei beyond oganesson-294 (Z=118), the heaviest nucleus ...

In the search for superheavy elements, element 112 was a stepping stone towards the 'islands of stability'. Sigurd Hofmann now relates the steps that led to its 'creation' and detection.

This reaction resulted in the formation of Nihonium, accompanied by the emission of one neutron. 2 Flerovium (Fl) is a superheavy element (SHE) with atomic number 114. Experimental studies have shown ...
