A new chart for highly charged ions (HCIs) has been proposed, aiming to replicate the conventional periodic table’s accessibility and patterns for the cutting edge of atomic physics. This table could ...

Alfred University chemistry students will have an opportunity to add hot glass work to their skill sets, thanks to the efforts of senior chemistry major Sydnie Tutmaher and her father, Tom Tutmaher of ...

Researchers have directly observed the heaviest atom yet participating in a chemical reaction and forming a molecule. The finding pushes “superheavy” chemistry, which involves extremely massive ...

The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could successfully predict their masses, densities, how they would link up with other ...

The Laboratory in Blue Prince is home to two puzzles: the periodic table puzzle and the machine puzzle. Both puzzles are intertwined with one another — you’ll need to solve the periodic table puzzle ...

Heavy ligands such as polyoxometalates are opening a new frontier in actinide chemistry. Studying materials that are both radioactive and rare presents significant challenges. The elements that follow ...

More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the transuranium element berkelium. According to a new study, the electronic signature of ...

For professor of chemistry and physics Richard Zare, the goal for CHEM 29N: Chemistry in the Kitchen is not to make students into great cooks or chemistry majors. Instead, he hopes students “take this ...

The top image is a scanning electron micrograph depicting some chemistry giants shrunk down to microscopic size, with Dimitri Mendeleev (left) and Yuri Oganessian (right) on either side of a super ...

Researchers may have found a way to create a new superheavy element, known as "element 120," which would be so hefty that it would need to be put in a new row on the periodic table of elements. If ...

An element's location on the table can be used to determine its electron configuration. By following the order of periods (rows) and blocks (s, p, d, f), you can trace how electrons fill the atom's ...
