The same team that produced element 112 is also responsible for adding elements 107-111 to the periodic table. Sigurd Hofmann, who led the team at the Centre for Heavy Ion Research, has been ...

All four elements are not found in nature, and were synthetically created in laboratories. Until now, these elements had temporary names and symbols on the periodic table as their existence was ...

The Periodic Table enables scientists to predict the appearance and properties of elements that were yet to be discovered. A few decades later, following the discovery of radioactive elements, Marie ...

The periodic table currently has 118 chemical elements (SN: 11/30/16). The five heaviest elements were all produced using a beam of calcium-48. That’s a variety, or isotope, of calcium with 28 ...

Elements with atomic numbers 113, 115, 117, and 118, have been added to the periodic table, according to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).

Teacher and technology specialist Chris Wilson reviews the classroom usefulness of Wonderful Life with the Elements, by Bunpei Yorifuji (No Starch Press, 2012).

Most elements on the periodic table have at least one stable form. But some don’t. Here’s how long those unstable members endure.

The periodic table may soon gain a new element, physicists at Lund University in Sweden announced Tuesday. A team of Lund researchers is the second to successfully create atoms of element 115.
