Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: We’ve reached the limit of a very successful way to make new elements in the lab. In new research, scientists unveil a new take on that technology ...

The experiment paves the way to potentially making an entirely new one: element 120, also known as the "island of stability." Reading time 2 minutes A team of scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley ...

The past three decades have witnessed the emergence of exotic structures and dynamics in weakly bound unstable nuclei located in the rapidly expanding nuclear chart. Examples include halo and cluster ...

The island of enhanced stability of superheavy elements as seen in 2024: The coast has been reached and the experimenters have left the first footprints on the beach. Stability mountains are emerging, ...
