In order to find the chemical properties of super-heavy elements, chemists must conduct one of the world's most demanding chemical experiments in a matter of seconds. In order to find the chemical ...
Dr. Alexander Yakushev, spokesperson of the experiment (right) and Dominik Dietzel, PhD student from Johannes Gutenberg Mainz University, work on the detector channel used to register the short-lived ...
The periodic table of the elements is to get crowded towards its heaviest members. Evidence for the artificial creation of element 117 has recently been obtained at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy ...
Figure 1: Concentrations in the bulk silicate Earth of moderately volatile elements. Volatile-loss experiments were performed at 1,300 °C and a range of values from −7 to −13. This range represents ...
