Since the turn of the century, six new chemical elements have been discovered and subsequently added to the periodic table of elements, the very icon of chemistry. These new elements have high atomic ...

The film explains the fundamental concepts of matter, focusing on atoms and molecules. It highlights that everything in the world is made up of atoms, which combine to form molecules. There are over ...

At the far end of the periodic table is a realm where nothing is quite as it should be. The elements here, starting at atomic number 104 (rutherfordium), have never been found in nature. In fact, they ...

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 ...

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 ...
