The periodic table, also called the periodic table of elements, is an organized arrangement of the 118 known chemical elements. The chemical elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom ...

New research suggests that the periodic table may once again reach 118. A team of nuclear chemists from the United States and Russia has announced the brief appearance of the unnamed element, the ...

The periodic table is about to get a little bit longer, thanks to the addition of four new super-heavy elements. The discoveries of elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 were officially confirmed late last ...

Four new elements now have names. In December, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry officially recognized the discovery of elements 113, 115, 117 and 118, filling out the seventh row ...

Four new elements discovered recently by Russian, American and Japanese scientists have completed the seventh row of the Periodic Table of Elements and rendered science textbooks everywhere incorrect.

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL) have formally retracted their claims for the discovery of the most massive chemical element. The synthesis of the "superheavy" element 118, ...

High school chemistry students will now have to learn about four additional elements on the Periodic Table of Elements. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has announced the ...

David Hinde receives funding from the Australian Research Council. In an event likely never to be repeated, four new superheavy elements were last week simultaneously added to the periodic table. To ...
