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 ...

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 ...

The seventh row of the table was completed in 2016 when Tennessine, Nihonium, Moscovium, and Oganesson were added. Elements ...
