Carolyn Krause presents the second part of the three-part series on the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's role in the discovery of elements in the periodic table. Many of them have been synthesized ...

Scientists have created six new isotopes of the superheavy elements, reaching in an unbroken chain of decays from element 114 down to rutherfordium. The discovery is a major step toward understanding ...

Isotopes can be simply considered as the variants of an element with different neutrons number. But it’s the only difference in that makes them available for comparison and replacement applications.

Berkeley, CA—A team of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has detected six isotopes, never seen before, of the superheavy elements 104 through 114.
