So how do you go about creating a new element? Find a 2,100-ton ion machine gun that fires six trillion ions per second at 10% the speed of light towards an unimaginably small target. It's rare that they hit, and rarer still that target and ion fuse together rather than rip apart. If they do stick together, a new element is made. Then all you need to do is separate this new hybrid from the vast quantities of unreacted material and detect it before it decays which happens in less than a second. If all of that is a success, well, congratulations! You've got yourself a brand new element. The science of element discovery is a truly fascinating field, and is constantly rewriting the laws of chemistry and physics as we know them. As recently as November 2016, four new superheavy elements, the heaviest created by man were named, stretching the periodic table to 118 elements. They have broken the rules of the periodic table, rewriting the science we're taught in school, and have the potential to revolutionise our lives. Superheavy will be the first book to take an in-depth look at how these elements are discovered, why they matter and where they will take us. |
