In a significant breakthrough for the scientific community, a new element has been confirmed on the periodic table. This discovery holds potential implications for a wide range of scientific fields, ...

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 ...

The periodic table of the elements, principally created by the Russian chemist, Dmitry Mendeleev (1834-1907), celebrated its 150th anniversary last year. It would be hard to overstate its importance ...

Have we reached the end of the line of discoverable elements? Scientists have been slowly extending the periodic table one element at a time, pushing to higher and higher masses, and have discovered ...

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 ...

This year is the International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements—and today (March 6), the modern version celebrates its 150 th birthday. To find out more about the table and how new ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are using the 88-Inch Cyclotron to help steady the famous periodic table of elements one atom at a time where it's gone a ...
