Scientists Move Closer to Synthesising Element 120, Marking Potential New Era in Periodic Table
Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California are exploring new techniques for creating superheavy elements, focusing on the potential synthesis of “element 120,” also called unbinilium. If successful, this addition could lead to an eighth row on the periodic table. Using ion bombardment, researchers demonstrated a process t...

Scientists Move Closer to Adding Element 120 to the Periodic Table with New Technique
Scientists are on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery that could expand the periodic table to include element 120. Currently, the periodic table comprises 118 elements, ranging from hydrogen with one proton to oganesson with 118. The quest to explore the frontiers of atomic physics has led researchers to develop a novel technique to create elem...

Scientists Take Major Step Toward Creating Heaviest Element Ever
At Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, scientists have achieved a significant milestone by creating livermorium with a novel titanium-based method. This success is seen as a precursor to synthesizing unbinilium, the heaviest element. The research highlights the importance of advancing techniques in element synthesis to explore new frontiers in a...

What Is Doomsday Clock And How Does It Work? A 5-Point Explainer
The Doomsday Clock has been ticking for 76 years, but on Tuesday, it was set at 90 seconds until midnight, the closest to the hour it has ever been. The midnight has a symbolic meaning - representing the point of annihilation.

The Length of Earth’s Days Has Been Mysteriously Increasing, and Scientists Don’t Know Why
The length of a day on Earth is increasing, according to atomic clocks and precise astronomical measurements. Scientists have no idea why days are getting longer on the planet, a phenomenon that could impact not just timekeeping but also technology like GPS. Over millions of years, Earth’s rotation has been slowing down due to friction effects as...

First-Ever Images of Atoms Moving in Liquid Captured by Transmission Electron Microscope
Researchers have developed a method to image atoms 'swimming' in liquid, using a technique called transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The process usually requires high vacuum conditions, but the scientists were able to develop a method to image these atoms in situ in liquid and gaseous environments.
