A group of researchers working at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have confirmed the existence of the superheavy element 114, furthering research in the field of nuclear science. The team, ...

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry has recommended new proposed names for elements 114 and 116, the latest heavy elements to be added to the periodic table. Scientists proposed the ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory last week confirmed that they were able to produce element 114, but the super-heavy sample quickly decayed, dashing hopes that it would be stable.

It wasn't easy. It took more than a week of running the experiment to generate a measly two atoms of the stuff, which they reported in Physical Review Letters last week. It's basic science at the ...

The super-heavy elements 114 and 116 have officially been recognized by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, the official arbiter of chemical names, and have been named in honor of ...

Scientists at the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have confirmed the production of the superheavy element 114, ten years after a group at the Joint Institute for ...

Berkeley, CA – Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have been able to confirm the production of the superheavy element 114, ten years after a group in ...

Two of the heaviest elements on the periodic table were officially named on Thursday (May 31). The man-made elements 114 and 116, which contain 114 and 116 protons per atom, respectively, are now ...

LIVERMORE — The city of Livermore and Lawrence Livermore Laboratory may soon have an element named in their honor. Lab scientists and colleagues at a Russian institute synthesized a superheavy element ...
