A liquid metal battery (LMB) consists entirely of liquid active components: a low-density liquid metal negative electrode, an intermediate-density molten salt electrolyte and a high-density liquid ...

and colleagues first created a single atom of element 115 in 2003, it turned out to be highly unstable. That team fired atoms of calcium (atomic number 20) at a sheet of americium (atomic number ...

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry ... nuclei of the calcium atoms to make a new, single, 115-proton nucleus. (See the very educational GIF on GSI’s “new elements” webpage.) ...

The periodic table currently has 118 chemical elements (SN: 11/30/16). The five heaviest elements were all produced using a beam of calcium-48. That’s a variety, or isotope, of calcium with 28 ...

If heavy element chemistry were a sports franchise, they won the world championships with calcium 48, and then had to take time to rebuild after everyone retired. Now, a new generation of players ...
