China completes critical test of Long March-10 rocket, which will play key role in building scientific research base at lunar south pole.

The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could ...

The new content patch arrived just two months after the first major content update for Doom: The Dark Ages made some changes based on player feedback. A major focus of the first content update was ...

A harder form of diamond that has eluded scientists for decades can now be synthesised in the laboratory, and could be used to make extremely tough cutting and drilling tools. Diamonds as we know ...

The previously unknown nucleus aluminum-20 has been observed for the first time by detecting its in-flight decays.

When two fluids don't mix well, they sometimes form strange patterns called "viscous fingering," or Saffman-Taylor instability. Studying these patterns can help scientists understand how to design ...

The exploration of the isotopic border for the element seaborgium is a natural continuation of these experiments, mapping the coastline of the island of stability of the superheavy nuclei.

Researchers from the University of South China have developed the Two-Potential approach to obtain the key information about the nuclear structure in heavy and superheavy region.  It is found ...

Since superheavy nuclei may decay through various modes such as alpha decay, cluster radioactivity and spontaneous fission (SF), it is important to understand whether there is any preformation of ...

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