After a brief introduction of the role of shell effects in determining the limiting nuclear
masses, the experimental investigation of the decay properties of the heaviest nuclei is …

We describe the discoveries of new superheavy nuclei (a) with Z= 107–112 produced in
cold fusion reactions between 208Pb and 209Bi and beams of A> 50 and (b) with Z= 113 …

After Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev and, independently, Julius Lothar Meyer, and others
discovered the ordering principles of the elements, Mendeleev proposed the first valid …

The heaviest elements to have been chemically characterized are seaborgium (element
106), bohrium (element 107) and hassium (element 108). All three behave according to their …

A model operator approach to calculations of the QED corrections to energy levels in
relativistic many-electron atomic systems is developed. The model Lamb shift operator is …

Extended Average Level (EAL) Dirac–Fock calculations on atoms and ions agree with
earlier work in that a rough shell-filling order for the elements 119–172 is 8s< 5g≤ 8p1/2< …

Actinides are the heaviest chemical elements with practical relevance. Among them, only
thorium and uranium can be found in nature in substantial quantities, while natural …

The number of chemical elements has increased considerably in the last few decades. Most
excitingly, these heaviest, man‐made elements at the far‐end of the Periodic Table are …

A significant interrelation between heavy metal exposure and metabolic syndrome (MetS)
development has been demonstrated earlier. Despite the presence of a number of works …

The current status of relativistic electronic structure theory for superheavy elements is
reviewed. Recent developments in relativistic quantum theory have made it possible to …
