Since the turn of the century, six new chemical elements have been discovered and subsequently added to the periodic table of elements, the very icon of chemistry. These new elements have high atomic ...

Scientists from Massey University in New Zealand, the University of Mainz in Germany, Sorbonne University in France, and the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) discuss the limit of the periodic ...

Standard atomic weights, those numbers emblazoned under the elements on the periodic table, were once thought of as unchanging constants of nature. But researchers have tweaked the atomic weights of ...

Japanese scientists have made a new (nu?) periodic table organized by the number of protons in the nucleus instead of the element’s number of electrons. They call it the Nucletouch table, and where ...

If you think back to middle school chemistry, you’ll probably remember trying to memorize the Periodic Table of the Elements. Perhaps the Tom Lehrer song is still ingrained in your head: I wish my ...

Carolyn Krause presents the second part of the three-part series on the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's role in the discovery of elements in the periodic table. Many of them have been synthesized ...

We explore if it's really possible that new elements exist beyond the periodic table. Adamantium, bolognium, dilithium. Element Zero, Kryptonite. Mythril, Netherite, Orichalcum, Unobtanium. We love ...

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table of Chemical Elements in 1869. In celebration, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural ...
