A UC Riverside study suggests that exoplanets, which are planets orbiting stars outside our solar system, could also serve as ...

China completes critical test of Long March-10 rocket, which will play key role in building scientific research base at lunar south pole.

The finding pushes “superheavy” chemistry, which involves extremely massive radioactive elements, to a new level – and could even lead to a rearrangement of the periodic table.

Researchers plan to use their approach with several early superheavy elements, pairing the atoms with fluorine-containing gases and short-chain hydrocarbons to reveal fundamental chemistry at the ...

The previously unknown nucleus aluminum-20 has been observed for the first time by detecting its in-flight decays.

See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a visual frequency scale (at left) track the steady rise in the frequency of ...

Researchers from the University of South China have developed the Two-Potential approach to obtain the key information about the nuclear structure in heavy and superheavy region.  It is found ...
