From Past to Future in the Science of Super Heavy Elements / Yu.Oganessian // The European Physical Journal A [Electronic resource]. – 2024. – Vol. 60, No. 11. – P. 227. – URL: https://doi.org/10.1140/epja/s10050-024-01431-2. – Bibliogr.: 61.

The study of superheavy elements is an independent and somewhat peculiar field of knowledge that sits at the crossroads of nuclear physics, atomic physics, chemistry, and astrophysics. Researchers in this area use advanced technologies from various other scientific and technological disciplines-such as highly ionized plasma sources, powerful nuclear reactors and high-intensity heavy ion accelerators-to explore the outer limits of the periodic table. But what drives this intriguing line of research? I have noticed long ago that not only scientists but also specialists from other professions have been captivated by fundamental laws of nature and the universe as a whole. How did the “basic building blocks of the universe” originate? How expansive is the material world? Where do its boundaries lie, and how do we determine its limits? The science of superheavy elements seeks to answer these profound questions. By delving into the realm of the heaviest nuclei and atoms as they approach the brink of their existence, we uncover new data about their nuclear structures, properties, and transformations. This exploration expands our understanding of matter’s extreme limits and reveals phenomena previously unknown to science.
