Since the invention of the periodic table 150 years ago this month, scientists have worked to fill in the rows of elements and make sense of their properties. But researchers have also pursued a ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The Periodic Table of Chemical Elements is one of the most significant achievements in science, capturing the essence not only of chemistry, but also of physics, medicine, earth ...

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 and ...

At one point, while drowning in research for The Disappearing Spoon, I could pretty much name every element on the periodic table, in order. I was more than happy to let this "talent" lapse, ...
