New Superheavy Element Synthesis
Interesting post found on Matrix today, :-
New Superheavy Element Synthesis Points to Long-Sought ‘Island of Stability’ you can read more about this in the scientific American article published on 24th September
Seems interesting, as I read a paper a few years ago suggesting element 120 was present in Przybylski's Star. In fact, a number of papers on arXiv have suggested some interesting properties and chemistry.
Here is a link to the Matrix Physics Room where I found the link mentioned above

Type II supernova
An explanation as to what a type II supernova is, can be found on wikipedia. This is fine for this article but please remember Wikipedia is NOT an academic source of information.
Another interesting fediverse from @AkaSci looking at the spectrum of type II supernova SN 2023ixf.
Spectrum data for Supernova SN 2023ixf in visible light wavelengths, captured yesterday, is shown below. The spectrum is rich in blue wavelengths; it has prominent peaks at wavelengths (shown as vertical lines) associated with emissions from Hydrogen.
The peaks around 475 nm are associated with He, C and N.

Periodic table of data
I found a link to this on Twitter, part of last weeks National Periodic table day. This is a really useful set of periodic tables, each one covers a different topic, e.g Origins, name origins, elements in the Sea, Phones, Toxicity etc.
So an example is:– Periodic table of Isotopes, which gives information on how many isotopes there are for each element.
