Superheavy elements, residing at the extreme end of the periodic table, represent an intriguing domain where relativistic effects and quantum electrodynamics profoundly shape chemical behaviour. The ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the chemical properties of the superheavy element flerovium -- element 114 -- at the accelerator facilities of the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could successfully predict their masses, densities, how they would link up with other ...

The lanthanide (4f) and actinide (5f) elements (collectively the “f-block”) comprise around a quarter of the periodic table, and many are essential to key aspects of modern life and society. These ...

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 may have found a way to create a new superheavy element, known as "element 120," which would be so hefty that it would need to be put in a new row on the periodic table of elements. If ...

In chemistry, we have He, Fe and Ca — but what about do, re and mi? Hauntingly beautiful melodies aren’t the first things that come to mind when looking at the periodic table of the elements. However, ...

Chemical engineers develop problem-solving skills, with a strong foundation in science, engineering, and mathematics that touch every aspect of our lives–from smaller, faster computer chips to ...
