new element

Scientists at Berkeley Lab have used a titanium beam to make atoms of element 116. This new way to make the super rare element stands as a proof-of-concept that they could soon potentially create the undiscovered element 120, which may be stable.

Scientists have uncovered hints of a world of new elements beyond the periodic table. A new study has found that ancient stars may have been producing extremely heavy elements that remain unknown to science.

Four new elements recently added to the periodic table have finally been given names suitable to their discovery and scientific field of relevance. Now the final decision as to whether these names become permanent has been opened to pubic comment.

Time to re-write the textbooks. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has confirmed the existence of four new elements with the atomic numbers 113, 115, 117, and 118.
