Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Many of us remember a time when the periodic table appeared with some curious blank spots. Your age determines what those blank spots were, but ...

Physicists have synthesized the element livermorium, which has the atomic number 116, using an unprecedented approach 1 that promises to open the way to new, record-breaking elements. The heaviest ...

Yeah! Science! For the first time, scientists at Berkeley Lab have synthesized element 116 (livermorium) using a titanium particle beam. Previously, physicists created livermorium atoms using a ...

Get ready to amend you periodic tables. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry has officially approved the names for elements 114 and 116. Meet Flerovium and Livermorium. These ...
