Scientists have long wondered whether there is a limit to the number of protons and neutrons that can be clustered together to form the nucleus of an atom. A new study comes closer than ever to ...

Element 115, scientists are on to you. Physicists at Lund University in Sweden announced Tuesday that they have new evidence that you exist. Here’s what they said they know: - You are “super-heavy.” ...

Scientists in Japan think they've finally created the elusive element 113, one of the missing items on the periodic table of elements. Element 113 is an atom with 113 protons in its nucleus — a type ...

HEISENBERG has discussed the hypothesis that the nucleus of an atom is composed of neutrons and protons only, the neutron being regarded as a fundamental entity and not as a combination of an electron ...

(LiveScience) Scientists in Japan think they've finally created the elusive element 113, one of the missing items on the periodic table of elements. Element 113 is an atom with 113 protons in its ...

David Hinde receives funding from the Australian Research Council for research into nuclear reactions forming superheavy elements. The hunt for long-lived superheavy elements has taken another leap ...

The periodic table may soon gain a new element, physicists at Lund University in Sweden announced Tuesday. A team of Lund researchers is the second to successfully create atoms of element 115.

One of the largest atomic nuclei known could lead to the discovery of superheavy elements that do not immediately decay. Physicists have created one of the heaviest elements yet, an atom with 117 ...
