Researchers have successfully made super-heavy element 116 using a beam of titanium-50. That milestone sets the team up to attempt making the heaviest element yet: 120. Scientists at the Department of ...

After multiple attempts across the globe to create a new element, an international team of researchers led by Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, or Berkeley Lab, discovered a technique that could lead to ...

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 and report its success. The heaviest elements could ...

Researchers may have found a way to create a new superheavy element, known as "element 120," which would be so hefty that it ...

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 ...

Yeah! Science! For the first time, scientists at Berkeley Lab have synthesized element 116 (livermorium) using a titanium particle beam. Previously, physicists created livermorium atoms using a ...

Carolyn Krause presents Jim Roberto’s story about how element 117 named tennessine was discovered and what he thinks are the prospects of, and obstacles to, creating elements 119 and 120 and even ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are credited in the discovery of 16 of the 118 known elements. Now they’ve completed the crucial first ...

"When we're trying to make these incredibly rare elements, we are standing at the absolute edge of human knowledge and understanding, and there is no guarantee that physics will work the way we expect ...
