Their work is the cover function of the February 2024 Nature Review Physics.In addition to the Nature Reviews Physics feature, Physics Reports published a review on the atomic electronic structure theory for superheavy elements.The Quest for Superheavy ElementsWhat is the heaviest bound nucleus and the heaviest bound atom and what are their properties? Examining the presence of the “peninsula of prolonged stability,” where superheavy nuclei could have life times beyond the very brief lived one found up to now, is also a scientific goal.Theoretical Advances and the Future of Superheavy ElementsIn addition, the development of atomic structure theory focuses on superheavy components and their forecasted electronic ground state setups, which are important for an elements positioning in the periodic table. Nuclear theorists at FRIB carry out forecasts for superheavy nuclei using innovative models assisted by high-performance computing and machine learning.Studying the Periodic Table of Elements and the nuclear landscape in the superheavy region will generate new ideas and methods that will impact atomic and nuclear chemistry.references, physics, and astrophysics: “The quest for superheavy elements and the limit of the periodic table” by Odile R.
