Abstract

Superheavy atoms and their nuclei are at the forefront of experimental and theoretical nuclear and atomic physics, and chemistry. Because of their large atomic numbers, traditional nuclear and atomic concepts have to be revised in superheavy systems. In this Colloquium the latest developments in the field are described and the route for future scientific explorations in this area of research is indicated.
