The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could ...

The elements, discovered by researchers from Japan, Russia, and the United States, are known by their atomic numbers of 113, 115, 117, and 118. They will be given permanent names soon, according ...

The periodic table is used in chemistry to organize different elements. Elements are atoms with a different number of protons and electrons. Protons are particles that are in center of the atom ...

This process happened six times, turning element 113 into element 111, then 109, 107, 105, 103 and finally, element 101, Mendelevium (also a synthetic element).

So the beauty of the periodic table is that the elements that are in columns, up and down, have similar properties. But there are similarities within a group going across too.

Deconstruction: Periodic table Look at the periodic table of elements, and you d be hard pressed to find an element that is not used in physics. But what are the most important elements for building ...

Similarly, the particles of the Standard Model are a system to break down the things that atoms are built from and how all the pieces interact with each other (with one VERY important exception!).

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 ...

Scientists have started a new periodic table for quantum dots, which they refer to as “artificial atoms.” Quantum dots are nano-sized particles that are made of semiconducting materials.

One in 5 Americans can't name a single element on the Periodic Table. Most Americans surveyed (59 percent) couldn't name more than 10 elements of the 118 that grace the Periodic Table.
