The experiment paves the way to potentially making an entirely new one: element 120, also known as the "island of stability." Reading time 2 minutes A team of scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley ...

If you were to take every element in the periodic table and order them by how abundant they are in the Universe, you'd find something a little bit surprising. The most common element is hydrogen, ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed inexpensive, oxidized carbon particles that extract radioactive metals from water. They said their materials may help purify contaminated waters stored after the Fukushima ...

Many current and future technologies require alloys that can withstand high temperatures without corroding. Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have hailed a major ...

Initially dedicated at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California, on March 11, 2000. Rededicated at Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley on August 11, 2019, during the ...

Concentrated solar power is just one technology that urgently needs alloys with superior abilities to withstand high temperature corrosion. The image shows the PS20 solar power plant in Spain, which ...
