In recent decades, researchers have pushed the boundaries of the periodic table, synthesizing the heaviest elements known to science. These superheavy elements (SHE) complete the seventh row of the periodic table, culminating in element 118, oganesson. However, creating these elements is no small feat. Production rates plummet as atomic numbers rise, with only one atom of oganesson produced per month. Such scarcity makes studying the chemical properties of these fleeting elements an extraordinary challenge. To isolate these elements, scientists rely on advanced techniques like kinematic separa…
