Human history is often told through kings, empires and machines, but a single reactive metal quietly underpins much of that ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

What are Endangered & Critical Elements? Of the 118 elements that make up everything—from the compounds in a chemist’s arsenal to consumer products on the shelf—44 will face supply limitations in the ...

The lanthanide (4f) and actinide (5f) elements (collectively the “f-block”) comprise around a quarter of the periodic table, and many are essential to key aspects of modern life and society. These ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are using the 88-Inch Cyclotron to help steady the famous periodic table of elements one atom at a time where it's gone a ...

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 ...

In chemistry, we have He, Fe and Ca — but what about do, re and mi? Hauntingly beautiful melodies aren’t the first things that come to mind when looking at the periodic table of the elements. However, ...

The breadth of main group elements spanning the period table inherently lends itself to diverse chemistry, not least owing to the versatile reactivity of the s- and p-block elements. Research into ...
