It took weeks to observe the behavior of one and a half dozen precious, but very short-lived, atoms of these exotic elements.

An international team led by scientists of GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Helmholtz ...

The Synthetic Elements: III Two earlier articles in this magazine described the synthesis of elements up to element 101. The list now extends to element 103, and plans are afoot to make some of ...

The Synthetic Elements: IV Three earlier articles in this magazine described the synthesis of elements through element 103. Recent investigations suggest the possibility of extending the list to ...

No. 96. Like all the four known artificial elements,† curium is unstable. Each millionth of a gram shoots out 70 billion alpha particles (helium nuclei) per minute, 3,000 times as many as the ...

the team irradiated thin foils containing americium-243 (element 95), itself an artificial element, with intense ion beams of calcium-48 (element 20). Their fusion led to nuclei of moscovium-288 ...

Two years later, Enrico Fermi bombarded uranium with neutrons, hoping that it would cause the uranium to emit a beta particle and become a new, artificial element above uranium in the periodic table.

This innovative approach, involving the fusion of biological and artificial elements, showcases the diversity of strategies employed to enhance AI capabilities. The synergy of these efforts could ...

It sits in the seventh position in the actinides, those mostly artificial substances that inhabit the second of the periodic table's floating bars of elements, and directly above it, in the parallel ...
