Scientists have created six new isotopes of the superheavy elements, reaching in an unbroken chain of decays from element 114 down to rutherfordium. The discovery is a major step toward understanding ...

Isotopes can be simply considered as the variants of an element with different neutrons number. But it’s the only difference in that makes them available for comparison and replacement applications.

Elizabeth Williams receives funding from the Australian Research Council. If you’ve ever studied a periodic table of the elements (see below), you’re probably already aware that this table reveals a ...
