Researchers have long been hunting for a way to make the elusive elements more stable so they can be better studied.

In recent decades, researchers have pushed the boundaries of the periodic table, synthesizing the heaviest elements known to ...

Scientists have found a way to create superheavy elements, leading to groundbreaking possibilities in chemistry.

Scientists might be close to producing a new, incredibly heavy element called "element 120." This element would be so massive that it would need a new row on the periodic table, which is the chart ...

Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The team believes this method could potentially help synthesize the hypothetical ...

It took weeks to observe the behavior of one and a half dozen precious, but very short-lived, atoms of these exotic elements.

For decades, scientists have looked for materials that could make superconductivity -- the lossless transmission of electricity -- possible at higher temperatures, such as room temperature. That would ...

New materials designed by a University of Illinois Chicago graduate student may help scientists meet one of today's biggest ...

Alright, I barely scraped by in my science classes back in the day (let’s just say the periodic table and I had some creative ...

After delivering facts about metals and exuberantly showing off “cool rocks,” Laura Branch veered totally off the topic of chemistry in her Earth System ...

Students in Ms. Kelsie Lopez’s class at North Lamar ISD have taken science to a new level by constructing a lifesize periodic ...
