A team of researchers from Lund University is conducting an experiment at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory that may lead to the creation of the world’s heaviest element with atomic number 120 ...

The experiment paves the way to potentially making an entirely new one: element 120, also known as the "island of stability." Reading time 2 minutes A team of scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley ...

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 ...

Researchers have successfully made super-heavy element 116 using a beam of titanium-50. That milestone sets the team up to attempt making the heaviest element yet: 120. Scientists at the Department of ...

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 ...
