When it comes to science, chemistry is elemental. That pun is based on the fact that the main building blocks in the branch of science are chemical elements, pure substances made from a single type of ...

Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The ...

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 ...

Scientists have found a way to create superheavy elements, leading to groundbreaking possibilities in chemistry.

Scientists might be close to producing a new, incredibly heavy element called "element 120." This element would be so massive that it would need a new row on the periodic table, which is the chart ...

Researchers have long been hunting for a way to make the elusive elements more stable so they can be better studied.

A team of scientists set out to probe some of the heaviest elements in the periodic table using an advanced form of laser ...

An international team led by scientists of GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz, succeeded in determining the chemical properties of the ...

Where does the periodic table of chemical elements end and which processes lead to the existence of heavy elements? Researchers report on experiments to come closer to an answer. They gained insight ...

In this periodic table of elements quiz, you have 10 minutes to name as many elements as you can, given only their symbol, atomic weight and the broad group they live in. It's no mean feat ...

So how has the periodic table been put together ... table contains an element symbol of one or two letters, not the element name. This makes it less cluttered and easier to find the elements.
