Scientists have started a new periodic table for quantum dots, which they refer to as “artificial atoms.” Quantum dots are nano-sized particles that are made of semiconducting materials. Researchers ...

Are you ready for the future? Back in 1869, Russia's Dmitri Mendeleev began to classify the elements according to their chemical properties, giving rise to the Periodical Table of Elements. "I saw in ...

A team of Israeli scientists say they are able to create a whole new world of artificial materials by playing with the composition of quantum dots, tiny artificial atoms that are created chemically in ...

The periodic table may be one of the greatest accomplishments in information visualization. Its simple approach–lining and layering atoms by number of protons–is something that anyone can understand.

Hebrew University reinvents the periodic table for artificial atoms 'In analogy to what we know from atoms, we can now combine different quantum dots ('artificial atoms') to form molecular-like ...

The periodic table of elements has shaped our understanding of the natural world for 150 years. Quantum chemistry has the potential to change one of the most famous scientific charts in history, in a ...
