40Ar Fusion: A Novel Pathway to Synthesizing Essential Superheavy Nuclei

In the relentless pursuit of uncovering the heaviest and most elusive elements in the periodic table, a groundbreaking study proposes a radical shift in the synthetic approach to superheavy elements beyond uranium. Traditionally, the production of these fleeting giants has relied heavily on fusion reactions initiated by calcium-48 (⁴⁸Ca) beams, a method known for its effectiveness but also for its considerable cost and technical complexity. Howe…
