The periodic table of elements—also known as Mendeleev’s table—was developed in 1869 by Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev. It organizes all known chemical elements by their atomic number ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are using the 88-Inch Cyclotron to help steady ...

Is It Time to Upend the Periodic Table? 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.

The periodic table, which to date contains 118 natural and laboratory created elements, was famously stumbled upon in a dream by Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869 and describes the atomic ...

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 ...

Most elements on the periodic table have at least one stable form. But some don’t. Here’s how long those unstable members endure.

New atom-by-atom technique demonstrated for the first time with nobelium might ensure that elements at the bottom of the table are grouped correctly ...

The periodic table merges scientific inquiry, international politics, hero worship, desires for structure and desires for credit. Formally, the modern periodic table is a systematic arrangement of ...
