Breakthroughs Edge Scientists Closer to New Superheavy Elements
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Livescience.com
Researchers have developed a new technique that could potentially lead to the creation of element 120, known as unbinilium, which would add a new row to the periodic table. This technique, demonstrated by creating livermorium, involves bombarding isotopes with titanium ions. Although creating unbinilium is expected to take significantly longer, its potential stability could revolutionize the study of superheavy elements.
