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...

ESA Space X-Ray Space Observatory Locates Unusual Particle Acceleration in Manatee Nebula’s ‘Head’
The European Space Agency (ESA) has observed an unusual particle acceleration in the Manatee Nebula. The space agency says it has finally managed to pinpoint the location of the acceleration in the 'head' of the nebula. The image was captured using the ESA's X-ray space observatory, XMM-Newton. A region of X-rays that is causing particle accelerati...

The Unruh Effect: Researchers Probe What It’s Like to Travel at Incredibly High Speeds Through the Vacuum of Space
In their pioneer research, the team discovered a fresh technique to experiment with the Unruh effect. They discovered that by shining a high-intensity laser on an accelerating particle, the Unruh effect may be amplified to the point where it can be measured.

Instagram Shows CERN's Mammoth Particle Accelerator Is Very Photogenic
If you've ever entertained those questions, you've engaged with some of the most pressing mysteries of physics. And you might want to turn to Instagram - yes, Instagram - for more information. It turns out that the social media network is packed with great science photos, and the granddaddy of all labs, CERN, also runs a behemoth of an Insta feed.
