We explore the science and chemistry going on inside Theo Gray's periodic table table. Step into his office, and you'll see a silicon disc engraved with Homer Simpson, a jar of mercury, uranium shells ...

Researchers may have found a way to create a new superheavy element, known as "element 120," which would be so hefty that it would need to be put in a new row on the periodic table of elements. If ...

Everything around us is built from sets of chemical elements. From the air we breathe to the jewelry we wear. All of these ...

The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could successfully predict their masses, densities, how they would link up with other ...

Both arithmetic aficionados and the mathematically challenged will be equally captivated by new research that upends hundreds of years of popular belief about prime numbers. Contrary to what just ...

Researchers have directly observed the heaviest atom yet participating in a chemical reaction and forming a molecule. The finding pushes “superheavy” chemistry, which involves extremely massive ...

A team of Russian and American scientists announced today the creation of several atoms of the previously unknown element 117. The discovery of “ununseptium” will eventually fill a longtime gap on the ...

The United Nations have proclaimed 2019 to be the International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements (IYPT 2019) to mark the 150th anniversary of the classification system that decorates ...
