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

See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a ...

The lifetime of element 117 bolsters confidence in theories that predict that superheavy elements occupy an "island of stability" in a chart of elements and their isotopes. The island is indicated ...

Element 112 did not invite a lot of interest when theoretical nuclear physicists predicted the famous island of stable superheavy elements — elements that have a number of nucleons that leads to ...
