I entered the Yale Medical Historical Library with the smell of tert-butyl methyl ether still lingering, phantom-like, from the organic chemistry lab I had just left. Tucked away in my lab notebook ...

Researchers used a particle accelerator and co-precipitation to study the chemical reactivity of single rutherfordium atoms. Such experiments will continue the advancement of relativistic chemistry ...

In recent decades, researchers have pushed the boundaries of the periodic table, synthesizing the heaviest elements known to science. These superheavy elements (SHE) complete the seventh row of the ...

The periodic table arranges all the chemical elements in a specific way. Patterns are visible in the way that elements behave, and this allows us to make predictions about other elements. Gethin: And ...

The periodic table is like a map that organizes elements based on their atomic structure and properties. It helps scientists and students study and understand the vast variety of elements and how they ...
