This decay chain shows what happened when Japanese researchers created the elusive atomic element 113. The atom quickly decayed by shedding alpha particles consisting of two protons and two neutrons.

Led by Dr. Kosuke Morita at the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-based Science, a group of scientists specializing in the superheavy elements have established the clearest evidence yet for the ...

After nine years of painstaking experiment, researchers in Japan reported yesterday that they have created a third atom of the element 113. That success, according to experts in the field, could see ...

To us, the Periodic Table of Elements seems somewhat stable and eternal. But in truth, this isn’t the first table of elements. In fact, we once believed that all things in the universe were made from ...

(LiveScience) Scientists in Japan think they've finally created the elusive element 113, one of the missing items on the periodic table of elements. Element 113 is an atom with 113 protons in its ...

The most unambiguous data to date on the elusive 113th atomic element has now been obtained. A chain of six consecutive alpha decays, produced in experiments at the RIKEN Radioisotope Beam Factory ...

Bombarding a bismuth target with a blisteringly fast stream of zinc ions has yielded strong evidence for element 113, a Japanese team reports online September 27 in the Journal of the Physical Society ...

The seventh row of the periodic table of elements has finally been completed, thanks to a group of Japanese, Russian and American researchers. The new substances discovered still have no official ...

The claim needs to be verified by chemical authorities, but the team says it's the strongest evidence yet for the highly unstable element. By Rebecca Boyle Published Sep 26, 2012 7:47 PM EDT Get the ...

Scientists in Japan think they've finally created the elusive element 113, one of the missing items on the periodic table of elements. Element 113 is an atom with 113 protons in its nucleus — a type ...

The most unambiguous data to date on the elusive 113th atomic element has been obtained by researchers at the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-based Science (RNC). A chain of six consecutive alpha ...
