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 ...
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 ...
A new chart for highly charged ions (HCIs) has been proposed, aiming to replicate the conventional periodic table’s ...
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 has been a vital foundational tool for material research since it was first created 150 years ago. Now, researchers add an entirely new dimension to the table, offering a new set of ...
