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

Complexes containing hydroxide, water and dinitrogen ligands detected as researchers probe chemistry on the edge of the ...

New applications often require new materials. Quite often, materials are needed that do not occur naturally or have very ...

Have we reached the end of the line of discoverable elements? Scientists have been slowly extending the periodic table one element at a time, pushing to higher and higher masses, and have ...

In a new study, these scientists—as well as scientists from the University of Nottingham—have turned to AI and machine learning to help form this new periodic table.

Instead, they may be made of naturally occurring "superheavy elements" beyond those listed in the periodic table — our current best catalog of 118 chemical elements — new research suggests.

The periodic table looks complete, but it isn’t. The race is on to discover the table’s next row of elements, starting with elements 119 and 120. Japan hopes to produce element 119 one atom at ...
