Researchers discovered rutherfordium-252, the shortest-lived superheavy nucleus, refining the "island of stability" map and ...

which marks the position of the island's shoreline in nuclei of rutherfordium (Rf, element 104). To allow experimental detection, the minimum lifetime of superheavy nuclei is on the order of a ...

Mitch André Garcia considers the disputed discovery of element 104 and takes a look at how the chemistry of this synthetic element is developing. Rutherfordium, the 104th element on the periodic ...

Experimental observations of the half life of rutherfordium-252 demonstrate that its stability lies well within the limits ...

You're listening to Chemistry in its element brought to you by Chemistry World, the magazine of the Royal Society of Chemistry. When the last member of the actinide series, element 103 or lawrencium, ...

A team of researchers has succeeded in exploring the limits of the so-called island of stability within the super-heavy nuclides more precisely by measuring the super-heavy rutherfordium-252 ...
