Researchers have long been hunting for a way to make the elusive elements more stable so they can be better studied.

A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator that moves protons, one kind of charged particle comprising atoms, along a spiral path to strike a target. What does it do? Particle/proton accelerators ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory say they have developed the technology that could finally produce the fabled element 120, which would require the addition of a new row to the ...

Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The ...

Photo: Four-inch copper-encased cyclotron, one of Ernest Lawrence's ealiest models When Ernest Orlando Lawrence (1901-1958) got his PhD in physics, the hottest topic was bombarding the atom's ...

Emphasis is given to the advances developed over the past few years. The publication, which also describes the legal matters related to the use of the targetry methods, will appeal to scientists and ...
