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 ...

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 ...

A committee of international chemists and physicists has officially added two new elements to the periodic table: the ultraweighty elements 114 and 116. [partner id ...

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 ...

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 ...

They may only have been around for less than a second, but two new elements have been immortalised in the Periodic Table. Ununquadium and ununhexium will take pride of place, with their atomic numbers ...

Russian physicists have for the first time created atoms of the super-heavy element 117, filling a gap in the periodic table and providing further evidence that research is close to reaching a ...
