Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The ...

The finding pushes “superheavy” chemistry, which involves extremely massive radioactive elements, to a new level – and could even lead to a rearrangement of the periodic table.

Comparing the two chains, Hofmann says, will help researchers better understand the characteristics of superheavy elements. Element 117 is tentatively known as ununseptium.

New superheavy element isotopes: 242Pu (48Ca,5n)285114. Physical Review Letters, 2010; 105 (18) DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.105.182701 ...

Superheavy nuclei: Atomic nuclei with an extremely high number of protons, typically beyond uranium, where complex nuclear forces and quantum shell effects confer unexpected stability.

New, superheavy element to enter periodic table By Reuters June 11, 20096:37 AM PDTUpdated June 11, 2009 ...

Tim Dean quotes David Hinde of the Australian National University at Canberra, who believes that superheavy elements may not form in supernovae because of the very short spontaneous-fission half ...
