Researchers have developed a technique for generating atom clusters made from silver and other metals. Surprisingly enough, these so-called super atoms (clusters of 13 silver atoms, for example) ...

It's superheavy A new superheavy element looks set to be added to the periodic table with the help of Australian researchers. An international team of physicists and chemists, led by researchers at ...

This rippling structure may look like a piece of origami, or an intricate scarf. In fact, it is geometry’s answer to the atom because it can’t be broken down into smaller components. Inspired by ...

Unlock the secrets of the Periodic Table of Elements with these surprising facts and deepen your understanding of the building blocks of our universe. Its iconic layout provides scientists with a ...

The Periodic Table of the elements has been rewritten by a US scientist. Dr Katharina Lodders, of Washington University has devised a system that represents the abundance of elements found within our ...

The periodic table added its 112 th official element Wednesday, when scientists in Darmstadt, Germany, announced they had received official approval for ununbium from an international body of chemists ...

First established in 1869, the periodic table quickly took the scientific world by storm as a means of properly organizing elements. Beyond being a helpful learning tool, the periodic table allowed ...

Scientists have developed a new set of building blocks based on nanoparticles and DNA. Using these tools, scientists will be able to build -- from the bottom up, just as nature does -- new and useful ...

It has been a key part school chemistry lessons for more than a century, but now the periodic table may need to be redrawn after scientists found a rare element may be very different from originally ...

Researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in The Netherlands have developed a technique for generating atom clusters made from silver and other metals. Surprisingly enough, these ...

Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) develop tables similar to the periodic table of elements but for molecules. Their approach could be used for predicting novel stable substances ...
