An international team of scientists has shed light on the extreme ends of neutron and proton numbers. Their goal is to investigate the limits of the periodic table of chemical elements. How far can ...

Scientists at Berkeley Lab’s 88-Inch Cyclotron developed a new technique for atom-at-a-time chemistry that opens up the next generation of heavy- and superheavy-element studies. This is the first time ...

The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could successfully predict their masses, densities, how they would link up with other ...
