Die Suche nach unbekannten, superschweren Elementen ist «Chemie am Limit» und ist nur möglich mit riesigen Teilchenbeschleunigern. Es ist klassische Grundlagenforschung mit unbestimmtem Ausgang – gibt den Forschenden aber einen Blick in eine wunderliche Welt. ...

JuRadChem selected the paper titled Laser-fluence-dependent production of molecular thorium ions in different charge states for trapped-ion experiments by our PhD student Jonas Stricker and his colleagues as "Paper of the month July 2025"! ...

PhD student Katharina Hermainski from the superheavies group has been selected to attend the this year 74th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting for Chemistry from June 29 to July 4. ...

An international research team lead by GSI/FAIR, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) has succeeded in the production of a new seaborgium isotope. ...

The traditional TASCA workshop took place for the 21st time, as almost every year at GSI in Darmstadt. ...

A team of researchers from GSI/FAIR, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz has succeeded in exploring the limits of the so-called island of stability within the superheavy nuclides more precisely by measuring the superheavy rutherfordium-252 nucleus, which is now the shortest-lived known superheavy nucleus. ...

Katharina Hermainski (photo below, third from left), PhD student in our group, is one of the winners of the poster prizes at the "Helmholtz Matter and the Universe Days 2024”. These took place from December 12 to 13, 2024 at DESY in Hamburg. ...

In 2025 the traditional TASCA workshop on “Recoil Separator for Superheavy Element Chemistry & Physics” will take place again; it will be held in presence. ...
