Some asteroids are dense. So dense in fact, that they may contain heavy elements outside of the periodic table, according to a new study on mass density. The team of physicists from The University ...

In other words, it contains elements not on the periodic table at all. These elements would be stable around atomic number 164, which is far denser that Osmium, the densest known naturally ...

Naturally occurring superheavy elements beyond those listed in the periodic table could potentially explain why asteroid 33 Polyhymnia is so dense, new research suggests.

A NEARBY asteroid may be hosting never-before-seen elements, according to a new study. The study was published in The European Physical Journal Plus in September. It found that one asteroid has a d… ...

We explore if it's really possible that new elements exist beyond the periodic table. Adamantium, bolognium, dilithium. Element Zero, Kryptonite. Mythril, Netherite, Orichalcum, Unobtanium. We ...

This suggests that this rock, dubbed asteroid 33 Polyhymnia, may contain new elements that are not found on our periodic table. The space object is found in the Asteroid belt and measures around ...

At the far end of the periodic table is a realm where nothing is quite as it should be. The elements here, starting at atomic number 104 (rutherfordium), have never been found in nature. In fact ...

Groups in the periodic table. Part of Combined Science. Groups in the periodic table. Group 1 ... Their uses depend on their inertness, low density and non-flammability. Sample exam questions ...

Elements beyond the periodic table have been modeled, with physicists predicting their properties. The Arizona team did the same using the relativistic Thomas-Fermi model of the atom, attempting ...

This range is close to the calculated density of 75.28 g per cubic cm (43.5 ounces per cubic inch) for 33 Polyhymnia. The results suggest that superheavy elements, if they really exist, could ...
