They were already able to create Livermorium (element 116) by bombarding plutonium (element 94) with the vaporized titanium.

The team made two atoms of element 116, livermorium, during 22 days of operations at the lab's heavy-ion accelerator, the 88-Inch Cyclotron. Making an atom of element 120 would be even rarer, but ...

Scientists of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)-Dubna collaboration proposed the names as Flerovium for element 114 and Livermorium for element 116. In June 2011, the IUPAC ...

This number reflects how many protons they have in their nucleus. Element 116 lasts for only milliseconds before it decays into element 114. This in turns lasts for about half a second before ...

A team of scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California announced today that it created livermorium, or element 116, using a titanium particle beam for the first time.

Scientists at Berkeley Lab have used a titanium beam to make atoms of element 116. Not only does this represent a new way to make the super rare element, but it stands as a proof-of-concept that ...

In their experiments, the Americans and Russians, who have worked together for years, first saw their radioactive creation decay in less than a thousandth of a second to element 116, which in turn ...

We’ve reached the limit of a very successful way to make new elements in the lab. In new research, scientists unveil a new take on that technology and report its success. The heaviest elements ...

In a proof-of-principle experiment, scientists created the known element livermorium, element 116, using titanium for the first time. The experiment focused a beam of titanium ions onto a target ...

Researchers have successfully made super-heavy element 116 using a beam of titanium-50. That milestone sets the team up to attempt making the heaviest element yet: 120. Scientists at the ...
