Superheavy element 114 (flerovium) is a volatile metal An international research team has succeeded in gaining new insights into the chemical properties of the superheavy element flerovium - element 114 - at the accelerator facilities of the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt. The measurements show that flerovium is the most volatile metal in the periodic table. Flerovium is thus the heaviest element in the periodic table that has been chemically studied. ...
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the journal Radiochimica Acta, which was founded by Nobel Laureate Otto Hahn in 1962. ...

Dietzel (JGU) The traditional annual TASCA Workshop on Recoil Separator for Superheavy Element Chemistry & Physics took place on May 10-12, 2022. This year’s workshop marked the 20th anniversary of the workshop series, which started in 2002. ...
After the successful virtual workshop TASCA 21, which we held earlier last year, we decided to organize the TASCA 2022 workshop in a similar fashion. As uncertainties of the travel possibilities persist, we will again hold it in virtual format. ...
Since about 20 years, the SHE Chemistry department organizes the annual TASCA workshop; in 2020, this became another victim to the pandemic.While some conferences moved virtual early on, many were postponed or cancelled altogether. ...

After a break of two years, our traditional TASCA workshop will be held again in 2021. Registration is now open! ...
Superheavy elements are short-lived and only available on a single-atom level, making their chemical properties very challenging to study. Now, through their co-precipitation with samarium, single atoms of rutherfordium have been shown to form hydroxide complexes but not ammine ones. ...
