What is the heaviest element in the universe? Are there infinitely many elements? Where and how could superheavy elements be created naturally? The heaviest abundant element known to exist is uranium, ...

While you were off celebrating the holidays, the periodic table got a little more complete. Four newly discovered elements managed to squeak their way in just before the end of 2015, filling up the ...

Graph showing the densities of all elements from Z=1 to 100, with the heavy metals labelled with red triangles. The red triangle at the top right is osmium (Z=76), the element with the highest ...

Millions of asteroids are floating in space in the massive expanse between Mars and Jupiter, thousands of which are close enough to our planet to be deemed "near-Earth asteroids." While the majority ...

Superheavy elements, residing at the extreme end of the periodic table, represent an intriguing domain where relativistic effects and quantum electrodynamics profoundly shape chemical behaviour. The ...

Scientists have uncovered hints of a world of new elements beyond the periodic table. A new study has found that ancient stars may have been producing extremely heavy elements that remain unknown to ...

In the European Physical Journal Plus, Rafelski and two colleagues mathematically demonstrated that the existence of CUDOs (compact ultra dense objects) do not have dark matter, but are filled with ...

Get ready to revise everything you know about chemistry – A new superheavy element is about to be added to the periodic table, just as soon as its creators can think of a suitable name for it. The new ...

Scientists say they’ve created two new chemical elements, but it’s too soon to say they’ll be added to the “periodic tables” of high school chemistry textbooks. “We have just had the first and only ...

A team of Russian and American researchers has created two new artificial elements, Nos. 113 and 115, at the upper extreme of the periodic table. They have produced only four atoms of each of the new ...
