For the last fifty or so years, the periodic table has been incomplete. Elements after uranium on the periodic table have been synthesized for the past few decades, but there were always a few missing ...

I remember sitting in chemistry class, overwhelmed by the table of elements (note: I am not a science geek). But this? This would have at least made me sit up and pay attention! The University of ...

Eagle-eyed readers may spot a change in this column. Previously known as Blog life, it highlighted top picks from the physics blogosphere, and was itself an outgrowth of an earlier column on physics ...

In this video excerpt from NOVA's "Hunting the Elements," New York Times technology columnist David Pogue explores how the periodic table of elements took shape. Learn how the periodic table developed ...

Elements heavier than uranium don’t exist naturally on Earth. Researchers make these massive elements at the end of the periodic table by smashing existing atoms together in particle accelerators.

Japanese scientists have made a new (nu?) periodic table organized by the number of protons in the nucleus instead of the element’s number of electrons. They call it the Nucletouch table, and where ...

High school chemistry students will now have to learn about four additional elements on the Periodic Table of Elements. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has announced the ...
