A team of scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California announced today that it created livermorium, or element 116, using a titanium particle beam for the first time.

An invisible force has long eluded detection within the halls of the world’s most famous particle accelerator—until now.

Yeah! Science! For the first time, scientists at Berkeley Lab have synthesized element 116 (livermorium) using a titanium particle beam. Previously, physicists created livermorium atoms using a ...

This could open up newer possibilities in making superheavy elements in the lab and understanding nuclear stability at higher ...

LONDON, July 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --. CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) particle detection systems use Element Six synthetic diamond in their first line of defence against beam ...

For example, the isotope radium 226 (one of the lightest alpha emitters, with atomic number 88) emits an alpha particle of 4.78 million electron volts (MeV), whereas element-110 emits an alpha ...

A Fermi lab physicist has delivered the ultimate downer, the entire universe is ending, in some uncounted billions of years hence. WBBM's John Cody has a look at the upcoming event.

The Nike React Element 55 has surfaced in a 'Particle Beige' colorway exclusively for the ladies. Unlike the popular React Element 87, this pair does not have a translucent upper.

But after fermium (element 100), the irradiate-and-wait technique stops working. Particle physicists "stepped up their game" and upgraded their atomic fodder from neutrons to other elements.

Astatine is the rarest element on Earth; only approximately 25 grams occur naturally on the planet at any given time. Its existence was predicted in the 1800s, but was finally discovered about 70 ...

In Iron Man 2, out May 7, industrialist Tony Stark needs to create a new elementso he builds a particle accelerator in his workshop. Popular Mechanics talks to experts to find out if it's possible.
