To expand the periodic table, it may be time to use titanium. A new study lays the groundwork to expand the periodic table with a search for element 120, which will be done by slamming titanium atoms, or electrically charged ions, into a Californian target. If produced, the new element would have an atomic nucleus … Read more
Extreme Climate Survey Scientific news is collecting questions from readers about how to navigate our planet’s changing climate. What do you want to know about extreme heat and how it can lead to extreme weather events? Known as the “neutrino nebula,” the signature suggests a new way of studying hard-to-detect subatomic particles. But it also … Read more
Extreme Climate Survey Scientific news is collecting questions from readers about how to navigate our planet’s changing climate. What do you want to know about extreme heat and how it can lead to extreme weather events? Most “radiant cooling” designs involve roofs designed to receive and then emit the sun’s energy in infrared wavelengths that … Read more
Scientists have just narrowed down the possible hiding spaces for dark matter particles. The LUX-ZEPLIN, or LZ, experiment has searched for and ruled out the existence of dark matter particles with a wide range of properties, researchers report Aug. 26 at two conferences. Dark matter is a substance whose influence can be seen on the … Read more
