Scientists just got 1 step closer to creating a 'superheavy' element that is so big, it will add a new row to the periodic tableScientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The team believes this method could potentially help synthesize the hypothetical "element 120," which would be heavier than any known element.
