In order to find the chemical properties of super-heavy elements, chemists must conduct one of the world's most demanding chemical experiments in a matter of seconds. In order to find the chemical ...

The element 112 has been officially recognized as a new element by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). IUPAC confirmed the recognition of element 112 in an official letter ...

Each lemon can generate around 1.5V and, in 2021, a team coordinated by the Royal Society of Chemistry created a record-breaking giant lemon battery using nearly 3000 lemons, producing over 2300V.

A research team has produced the first direct experimental evidence that Earth’s iron core traps hydrogen inside nanoscale ...

Actinides are a group of heavy, radioactive elements that include uranium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium and californium. Understanding how these elements bond with other atoms (known as ...

Superweight atom If you struggle remembering more than a dozen elements on the periodic table, your task just got harder with the discovery of chemical element 115. An international team of ...

Researchers are normally hard-pressed to catch a fleeting glimpse of the so-called superheavy elements at the far edge of the periodic table. Now a team has gone a step further and studied the ...

This release is available in German. IUPAC accepted the name proposed by the international discovering team around Sigurd Hofmann at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum. The team had suggested "Cp" as the ...
