Scientists have started a new periodic table for quantum dots, which they refer to as “artificial atoms.”Quantum dots are nano-sized particles that are made of semiconducting materials ...

The new elements almost instantly decay into other particles after the bombardment stops. These are the first additions to the periodic table since 2012, ...

The periodic table is used in chemistry to organize different elements. Elements are atoms with a different number of protons and electrons. Protons are particles that are in center of the atom ...

Spin of ½ means that only two particles can be in the same state. This is why electrons reside in pairs in systems of intricate orbitals instead of all together. The enormous variety of different ...

Those particles, they propose, aren’t lightweight at all and could come in all kinds of “species” — with their own “dark matter periodic table” of invisible elements, originally formed ...

"In our nuclear periodic table, we also see that nuclei tend to be spherically-shaped near the magic numbers, but deformed as you move away from them." The team made the table to highlight alternative ...

Kibler says the symmetries of the periodic table can be captured by a group theory, specifically the composition of the special orthogonal group in 4 + 2 dimensions with the special unitary group ...

This tool “opens the door,” produces a periodic table of particles similar to Mendeleev’s 19th century periodic table of chemical elements. To compile it, Grebe assigns g° to the electron ...

After shedding six alpha particles, the elem (RIKEN) Scientists in Japan think they've finally created the elusive element 113, one of the missing items on the periodic table of elements.
