Alchemy in the 21st century: the quest to understand super heavy elements.
A chemical element is characterised by the total number of positively charged protons in the atomic nucleus. The interplay between the attractive short range strong force and the repulsive long range Coulomb force leads to a limit in the number of protons and neutrons that can be bound in a nucleus. Today single atoms of elements up to Z=118 have been created in the laboratory. [...]
