What is the heaviest element in the universe? Are there infinitely many elements? Where and how could superheavy elements be created naturally? The heaviest abundant element known to exist is uranium, with 92 protons (the atomic number "Z"). But scientists have succeeded in synthesizing superheavy elements up to oganesson, with a Z of 118. Immediately before it are livermorium, with 116 protons and tennessine, which has 117.

This black and white photograph shows two men in a room of 1950’s computer equipment, with many dials and cables everywhere.  One man is standing and appears to be adjusting the equipment, while the other is sitting at a desk looking at a large binder and making notes.

Electric fields boost graphene's potential, study shows

Researchers at the National Graphene Institute have made a discovery that could revolutionize energy harnessing and information computing. Their study, published in Nature, reveals how electric field effects can selectively accelerate coupled electrochemical processes in graphene. Electrochemical processes are essential in renewable energy technologies like batteries, fuel cells, and electrolyzers. However, their efficiency is often hindered by slow reactions and unwanted side effects. Traditional approaches have focused on new materials, yet significant challenges remain. The Manchester team, led by Dr. Marcelo Lozada-Hidalgo, has taken a novel approach. They have successfully decoupled the inseparable link between charge and electric field within graphene electrodes, enabling unprecedented control over electrochemical processes in this material. The breakthrough challenges previous assumptions and opens new avenues for energy technologies.

" For the first time, scientists at the University of Sydney and the University of Basel in Switzerland have demonstrated the ability to manipulate and identify small numbers of interacting photons – packets of light energy – with high correlation. This unprecedented achievement represents an important landmark in the development of quantum technologies. Details of the research were published on March 20 in the journal Nature Physics. “Photon bound state dynamics from a single artificial atom” by Natasha Tomm, Sahand Mahmoodian, Nadia O. Antoniadis, Rüdiger Schott, Sascha R. Valentin, Andreas D. Wieck, Arne Ludwig, Alisa Javadi and Richard J. Warburton, 20 March 2023, Nature Physics. "

did u know protons have mass?

Imagine being an electron.

You yearn for company of your own kind, you want it, but you still repel them. You will never feel your own. Opposites attract, yes that’s true, but do you ever think they want to share their feelings. Do you think they want to touch do you think their existence is cruel and heartless for they will never be with their own

In a surprising turn of events, an international team of scientists has found that lead-208 (208Pb), the heaviest known "doubly magic" nucleus, exhibits unexpected shape characteristics that current nuclear models fail to predict accurately. Doubly magic refers to nuclei that have complete shells of both protons (82) and neutrons (126), a configuration that should theoretically favor a perfectly spherical shape. The research published in Physical Review Letters focuses on the deformation and collective behavior of lead-208, especially the spectroscopic quadrupole moments of two excited states.

DOOMED BUT DELIGHTFUL

Atom activity is a series of marriages and divorces, births, and deaths.

Put two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen near each other and they will rush eagerly together to form a union.

They don’t dissolve into each other to form a new permanent entity, they simply unite as individuals until a chemical action or electric discharge tears them apart and they continue with their separate lives.

Until they meet up again with a new attractive prospect.

Atoms are fickle and will always desert a lesser attraction for a greater one, moving toward what interests it and ignoring what repels it.

A lot like us.

Atoms should go on Maury.
