Moscovium: The Edge of the Periodic Table

Join us as we explore Moscovium, element 115—the synthetic giant that exists for fractions of a second. We'll unpack how scientists fuse americium and calcium in particle accelerators, chase the island of stability, and untangle the relativistic quirks that push it toward an alkali‑like edge. Plus, how researchers observe its behavior at facilities like GSI through gas-phase chromatography and single-atom detection.
