Different elements exist on Earth, each with distinct physical and chemical properties based on their atomic structure. To ...

In a significant breakthrough for the scientific community, a new element has been confirmed on the periodic table. This ...

In their momentary life span, atoms of lawrencium, element 103, may have left a lasting impression on the structure of the periodic table. For the first time, researchers have measured a basic ...

Scientists have created a periodic table of droplet motions, inspired in part by parallels between the symmetries of atomic orbitals, which determine elements' positions on the classic periodic table, ...

In the wee hours of the late 17th century, Isaac Newton could be found locked up in his laboratory prodding the secrets of nature. Giant plumes of green smoke poured from cauldrons of all shapes and ...

If you ever want to open a chemistry theme restaurant, you should be sure to furnish it with 118 tables — one for each element. Note that it could not be a Greek restaurant, because then the number of ...

The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

At the far end of the periodic table is a realm where nothing is quite as it should be. The elements here, starting at atomic number 104 (rutherfordium), have never been found in nature. In fact, they ...

As of 2019, the Periodic Table of the Elements has been around for 150 years. Maybe you've felt a certain chemistry with 2019 but don't know why? Maybe it's because this year marks the 150th ...

Since the invention of the periodic table 150 years ago this month, scientists have worked to fill in the rows of elements and make sense of their properties. But researchers have also pursued a ...

Ten elements that help make up the universe, including the carbon our biology is based on and the oxygen in the air we breathe, are now getting changed in an unprecedented way — they are getting their ...

The modern periodic table, arranged in rows and columns, was first introduced by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. At the time, it included the known elements and their properties, but Mendeleev predicted ...
