The chemical properties of two of the heaviest synthetic elements, moscovium and nihonium, have been established for the first time. Moscovium is now the heaviest element whose chemical properties we ...

In recent decades, researchers have pushed the boundaries of the periodic table, synthesizing the heaviest elements known to science. These superheavy elements (SHE) complete the seventh row of the ...

Four synthetic elements on the periodic table received their new names and atomic symbols, chemistry’s international standards organization announced Wednesday. The International Union of Pure and ...
