It is amazing to think that everything around us is made up from just 90 building blocks – the naturally occurring chemical elements. Dmitri Mendeleev put the 63 of these known at the time into order ...

Four new elements have been added to the periodic table. The existence of elements 113, 115, 117, and 118 has been confirmed by multiple experiments. As you’ll remember from grade school, the periodic ...

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 ...

In Cambridge, Massachusetts, right near the MIT campus, there’s a great little bar called “Miracle of Science.” It’s as if someone took everything from my science-outreach-filled dreams and made it a ...

The iconic chart of elements has served chemistry well for 150 years. But it’s not the only option out there, and scientists are pushing its limits. By Siobhan Roberts When Sir Martyn Poliakoff, a ...
