The recent discovery of elements 113 and 115 will tell us more about the structure of the nucleus and the possible existence of the “island of stability”. The heaviest elements The periodic table of ...

At the far end of the periodic table is a realm where nothing is quite as it should be. The elements here, starting at atomic number 104 (rutherfordium), have never been found in nature. In fact, they ...

Four new chemical elements now have official names and symbols, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) announced this week. After a five-month review, IUPAC chemists have ...

Welcome to the world, elements 113, 115, 117 and 118! Four new elements will join more than a hundred others on the periodic table of the elements, the International Union of Pure and Applied ...

The heaviest element that humans have ever found is called oganesson. Each atom of the stuff packs a whopping 118 protons into its dense center. In contrast, hydrogen—the most abundant element in the ...

Superheavy elements are those elements with a large number of protons in their nucleus. Elements with more than 92 protons are unstable; they decay to lighter nuclei with a characteristic half-life.

One of the proud achievements of Oak Ridge National Laboratory is the discovery of three elements either by its own staff or in collaboration with other institutions in the United States and Russia.

For now, they're known by working names, like ununseptium and ununtrium — two of the four new chemical elements whose discovery has been officially verified. The elements with atomic numbers 113, 115, ...
