Last week, we explored the evolution of the periodic table, with all its elements in order. Now that we’re well-organized, let’s dive into the reasoning. * The table is generally sorted by the number ...

image: Some chemists might see the periodic table of elements as a holy testament to the power of science. However, when it first debuted, it was a different kind of holey, and its journey to ...

We look at the chemistry of gallium, the science behind the holes in the periodic table. We look at the chemistry of gallium, the science behind the holes in the periodic table, and the history of how ...

The periodic table celebrates its 150th anniversary this year. We sat down with Eric Scerri, a University of California, Los Angeles professor, to learn more about ...

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — In a hallway of Cambridge High School in Fulton County are names posted on the wall you may recognize. Each name represents an element. The elements that altogether make up the ...

Six atoms may seem minuscule–especially if they exist for only fractions of a second–but they can have huge implications. The recent announcement that Russian and American scientists finally managed ...

This ACS/NSF colloquium was held on Wednesday, November 20 at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC. The event was generously supported by a grant (CHE-1937824) from the National Science ...

118 elements and seven periods, though just one period of high school chemistry is enough to get confused by it. This week, we’re exploring the history behind the periodic table.
