Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The ...

The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

In recent decades, researchers have pushed the boundaries of the periodic table, synthesizing the heaviest elements known to ...

Researchers have long been hunting for a way to make the elusive elements more stable so they can be better studied.

But how many of these elements do you know? Test your knowledge and compete with other Live Science readers to see who can come top in our periodic table quiz. The periodic table of elements is a ...

Just four years before Mendeleev announced his periodic table, Newlands noticed that there were similarities between elements with atomic weights that differed by seven. He called this The Law of ...

Scientists have found a way to create superheavy elements, leading to groundbreaking possibilities in chemistry.

Hydrogen doesn’t fit into this grouping and is placed over the table, this is because of Hydrogen's atomic structure. The first 94 chemical elements, up to plutonium, occur naturally on Earth ...

An international team led by scientists of GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz, succeeded in determining the chemical properties of the ...
