It's superheavy A new superheavy element looks set to be added to the periodic table with the help of Australian researchers. An international team of physicists and chemists, led by researchers at ...

This rippling structure may look like a piece of origami, or an intricate scarf. In fact, it is geometry’s answer to the atom because it can’t be broken down into smaller components. Inspired by ...

For new, human-made heavy elements on the periodic table, being “too ‘big’ for your own good” often means instability and a fleeting existence. The more protons and neutrons scientists squeeze ...

For now, they're known by working names, like ununseptium and ununtrium — two of the four new chemical elements whose discovery has been officially verified. The elements with atomic numbers 113, 115, ...

In this episode Dr Sunayana Bhargava and Tulela Pea talk about the building blocks of all matter: atoms. They also discuss how they combine in different ways to make molecules, compounds and mixtures.

Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom. Iron is an ...
