Scientists at Massey University have been involved in calculating the structure of oganesson, a relatively new element which has proved elusive to study. First synthesised as a single atom in 2002 at ...

It’s now time to say hello, officially, to the four new additions to the Periodic Table of Elements. This week, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) approved the names of the ...

After months of review, the world’s authority on chemical names has approved the official labels for four extremely rare elements at the bottom of the periodic table. This week’s decision from the ...

The periodic table will soon have four new names added to its lower right-hand corner. Element 113 is set to be named nihonium (Nh); element 115, moscovium (Mc); element 117, tennessine (Ts); and ...

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry has approved the name and symbols for four elements: nihonium (Nh), moscovium (Mc), tennessine (Ts), and oganesson (Og), respectively for element ...

Kyushu University professor Kosuke Morita, head of a team of scientists who discovered element 113 — now named nihonium — points to the superheavy synthetic element on a periodic table at a news ...

At the bottom right-hand corner of the periodic table sits a fantasy world. Until recently, these elusive elements’ names were just fancy translations of their numbers. They’re enormous and can only ...

Electrons generally orbit atomic nuclei in distinct shells, but calculations show that the outer electrons of oganesson, the heaviest element found so far, may instead orbit the nucleus as a gas.

New York: The inorganic chemistry division of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has reviewed and considered proposed names of three new elements of the periodic table -- ...

Four new names have been added to the periodic table of elements, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) announced Thursday. Nihonium, Moscovium, Tennessine, and Oganesson are ...
