Eric Scerri, a UCLA chemistry lecturer, has written at least six books discussing the orientation of the periodic table. His office is cluttered with posters and three-dimensional models of different ...

The oldest known periodic table has been restored after a major conservation effort. Discovered in 2014 at the University of St Andrews' School of Chemistry by Dr Alan Aitken during a clean out of old ...

The top image is a scanning electron micrograph depicting some chemistry giants shrunk down to microscopic size, with Dimitri Mendeleev (left) and Yuri Oganessian (right) on either side of a super ...

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 is part of the bedrock of chemistry education. Students use it to look up values like an element’s atomic mass, and it serves as a visual reference for the trends in physical ...

Kids these days, they have it so easy. Back in the old days, we learned our elements the hard way, by listening to “The Elements” by Tom Lehrer over and over until the vinyl wore out on the LP. Now, ...
