Here's How Nuclear Clocks Could Redefine Time and Reshape Modern Technology
Timekeeping is entering a new era with nuclear clocks, capable of achieving accuracy to the 19th decimal place. Current atomic clocks rely on caesium-133, but innovations with thorium-229’s nuclear transitions, excited by ultraviolet light, promise unprecedented precision. Scientists aim to redefine the second using elements like strontium by 203...

China to Reportedly Activate Powerful X-Ray Light Source to Reveal Atomic Structure of Proteins
China is about to launch the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), a state-of-the-art synchrotron capable of providing high-resolution x-ray imaging. Expected to begin operations in late December, HEPS will enable scientists to explore atomic-level structures in materials and proteins. This new facility, costing $657 million, will offer advanced capabi...

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...
