For folks whose last exposure to the periodic table might have been in a college or high school chemistry class, the idea that the order of elements on the periodic table is not an immutable physical ...

The periodic table may soon gain a new element, physicists at Lund University in Sweden announced Tuesday. A team of Lund researchers is the second to successfully create atoms of element 115.

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 ...

Scientists in Japan think they've finally created the elusive element 113, one of the missing items on the periodic table of elements. Element 113 is an atom with 113 protons in its nucleus — a type ...

Mark Blaskovich receives funding from the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and the Wellcome Trust. He is a member of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute and the ...

In their momentary life span, atoms of lawrencium, element 103, may have left a lasting impression on the structure of the periodic table. For the first time, researchers have measured a basic ...

Call it Astoundium -- at least for now. Swedish scientists report fresh evidence confirming the existence of a new element for the periodic table, the “telephone book” of matter that makes up the ...

The heaviest element that humans have ever found is called oganesson. Each atom of the stuff packs a whopping 118 protons into its dense center. In contrast, hydrogen—the most abundant element in the ...

Researchers at Sweden's Lund University have announced that they've been able to confirm the existence of element 115 on the periodic table. Their research is being published in this week's edition of ...
