Since element 99 -- einsteinium -- was discovered in 1952 from the debris of the first hydrogen bomb, scientists have performed very few experiments with it because it is so hard to create and is ...
On the periodic table, most elements have at least one stable form. But others have only unstable forms, all of which decay by emitting radiation and transforming into different elements until ...
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 ...
Dr. Alexander Yakushev, spokesperson of the experiment (right) and Dominik Dietzel, PhD student from Johannes Gutenberg Mainz University, work on the detector channel used to register the short-lived ...
The rare radioactive substance made its way from the United States to Russia on a commercial flight in June 2009. Customs officers balked at accepting the package, which was ensconced in lead ...
Researchers from Osaka University are better understanding the chemistry of superheavy elements, which will help explain important discrepancies in the periodic table and may eventually lead to the ...
PARIS, January 29. /TASS/. Russian scientists will hold the first experiments at the Super-Heavy Element Factory in Dubna near Moscow in April to synthesize the 114th and 115th elements of Mendeleev’s ...
