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 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...

Combination Of These Three Metals Is The Toughest Known Material On Earth
The study was published by a team of scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, who described the findings as "record-breaking".

Novel Material Powers The World's Smallest Transistor
A research team led by US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has created the world's smallest transistor with a working one-nanometre gate.

The World Is About To Install 700 Million Air Conditioners. Here's What That Means For The Climate
As summer temperatures finally settle in, many in the U.S. take it for granted that they can dial down the thermostat: Americans use 5 percent of all of their electricity cooling homes and buildings. In many other countries, however - including countries in much hotter climates - air conditioning is still a relative rarity.

Bacterium Trained To Perform Artificial Photosynthesis
Scientists have successfully trained bacteria to perform photosynthesis - despite being non-photosynthetic, an advance that could lead to the next generation of solar-to-chemical conversion technologies.

Now You See it, Now You Don't: Invisibility Cloak Nears Reality
A cloak of invisibility may be common in science fiction but it is not so easy in the real world. New research suggests such a device may be moving closer to reality.
