WASHINGTON – Revisiting one of physics' most embarrassing cases of scientific misconduct, researchers from Russia and the United States announced Monday that they have created a new super-heavy ...

A U.S. and Russian team said Monday that it had created element 118, the heaviest known to date. It is the fifth ultra-heavy element produced by the team at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and ...

American and Russian scientists have confirmed the discovery of the newest superheavy element -- element 118. "The decay properties of all the isotopes that we have made so far paint the picture of a ...

Scientists from California’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, Russia, have discovered element 118. “From the three atoms that ...

U.S. and Russian scientists on Monday announced they have created the newest super-heavy element, element 118. Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, in collaboration with researchers ...

LIVERMORE — By firing atoms of metal at another metal, Russian and American scientists created an element — No. 118 on the periodic table — that is the heaviest substance known, the scientists ...

Todd M. Hamilton, an associate professor and chair of the department of chemistry at Adrian College, explains. Nuclear scientists continue to expand the periodic table as they detect new elements.

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) opened a public comment period Wednesday for the recommended names of elements 115, 117 and 118. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ...

New research suggests that the periodic table may once again reach 118. A team of nuclear chemists from the United States and Russia has announced the brief appearance of the unnamed element, the ...

A collaboration of Russian and US physicists has finally created element 117 - a superheavy element made of atoms containing 117 protons that is roughly 40% heavier than lead. The achievement fills in ...

Ununoctium, as the new element is temporarily named, has no known use but inspired almost a decade-long pursuit by scientists on four continents. Controversy in the course of its discovery hobbled the ...
