But that was enough. Element 113 was the first element to have been discovered in Asia. It was given the name nihonium after Nihon—a name for Japan that translates to “land of the rising sun.” ...

Over time, advancements in materials science and nuclear research have led to further updates, including the synthesis of new elements and refinements in atomic weight measurements. This article ...

Between 2000 and 2016, five new elements were added, along with the identification of more than 50 isotopes by nuclear ...

Stephen has a science degree with a major in physics, an arts degree with majors in English Literature and History and Philosophy of Science and a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication.

To find answers, the two neighbors, elements 113, nihonium, and 115, moscoivum, needed to be tested as well. While first hints at the chemistry of nihonium were reported, nobody had so far ...

Creating mnemonic phrases can help you remember the order of elements, especially for the first 20 elements or specific groups. These phrases are general and are available on other free online ...

In 2004 Japan’s Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN) synthesized element 113, nihonium, after the Japanese word for “Japan.” Although element 118 is the heaviest element ever ...

How the relativistic effects affect its neighbors, the elements nihonium (element 113) and moscovium (element 115), which have also only been officially recognized in recent years, is the subject ...

Taking into account the IP values for Nh and Mc, one can expect a larger chemical reactivity with the surface and gas impurities leading to a reduced transport yield of both elements from the RTC to ...

Japan discovered its first element, nihonium, No. 113, in 2004, and Chapman reports that Japanese children read mangas dramatizing the work of the country’s top nuclear physicist, Kosuke Morita.

Favorite element name aside from nihonium: Curium, named after Marie Curie. She is the chemist I respect most. I hope to discover element 119 by bombarding a curium-248 target with vanadium-51 ions.
