They exist for only seconds at most in real life, but they’ve gained immortality in chemistry: Two new elements have been added to the periodic table. The elements were recognized by an international ...

Last summer, when more than 8 million trillion calcium ions blasted a thin film of americium atoms nonstop for more than a month, the collisions generated four atoms of never-before-seen element 115, ...

So here we are, at the edge of chemistry: atomic No. 118, oganesson, the coda of the periodic table as it stands and the spot where questions of science shade into those of philosophy. Is an element ...

The global agency for chemistry has formally added two new elements to the periodic table but the substances are so unstable, they exist for less than a second before decaying. The two elements, known ...

Kazutomo Suenaga of the Nanotube Research Center of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology and Ryosuke Senga of the Nano-carbon Characterization Team, NTRC, AIST, have ...

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 ...
