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, 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 ...

Since the invention of the periodic table 150 years ago this month, scientists have worked to fill in the rows of elements and make sense of their properties. But researchers have also pursued a ...

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has announced a new way to reliably make element 116, livermorium. The results, made by ...

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 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 say they have discovered a superheavy element, known as 118, albeit one that has only lasted a fraction of a second over months of experiments. Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National ...

For the last fifty or so years, the periodic table has been incomplete. Elements after uranium on the periodic table have been synthesized for the past few decades, but there were always a few missing ...

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 ...

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 ...
