Superheavy-element research

Nature volume 280, pages 543–549 (1979)Cite this article

Abstract

The existence of an island of relatively stable elements beyond the present Periodic Table has been predicted by theoretical extrapolations of nuclear properties. During the past 12 years vigorous efforts have been made to discover these superheavy elements in nature and to produce them by nuclear reactions.
