Scientists from global institutions are delving into the realm of superheavy elements, aiming to understand their properties and behavior to expand the periodic table and challenge the concept of the "island of stability." Recent research, featured in prestigious scientific publications, explores the theoretical and experimental aspects of superheavy elements, with a focus on their electronic structure and predicted behaviors. The quest for superheavy elements involves building new experimental facilities and employing advanced theoretical models, with potential implications for nuclear and atomic physics, astrophysics, and chemistry.

Scientists from Massey University, University of Mainz, Sorbonne University, and FRIB are exploring the limit of the periodic table and the concept of the "island of stability" with recent advances in superheavy element research, aiming to expand the borders of the Periodic Table of the Elements and the Chart of the Nuclides. New experimental facilities are being built to uncover properties of superheavy nuclei, and progress in atomic structure theory is focusing on their predicted electronic ground state configurations. This research will impact nuclear and atomic physics, astrophysics, and chemistry.
