The chemical properties of two of the heaviest synthetic elements, moscovium and nihonium, have been established for the first time. Moscovium is now the heaviest element whose chemical properties we ...

Speaker Lætitia H. Delmau is th recipient of the prestigious 2024 Glenn T. Seaborg Actinide Separations Award.

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory say they have discovered a new way to create superheavy elements.

As the climate warms and Arctic permafrost thaws, some of the toxic elements locked away in it are starting to emerge and could contaminate the water supplies that many northern communities rely on.

Advancements in nuclear physics suggest the possibility of discovering stable, superheavy elements. Researchers have found an ...

These are almost one-quarter of the periodic table and are mainly found in the first four periods. Of these, 11 are essential elements that our bodies need in larger amounts: oxygen, carbon ...
