Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The ...

The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

But how many of these elements do you know? Test your knowledge and compete with other Live Science readers to see who can come top in our periodic table quiz. The periodic table of elements is a ...

Just four years before Mendeleev announced his periodic table, Newlands noticed that there were similarities between elements with atomic weights that differed by seven. He called this The Law of ...

Researchers have long been hunting for a way to make the elusive elements more stable so they can be better studied.

In recent decades, researchers have pushed the boundaries of the periodic table, synthesizing the heaviest elements known to ...

Scientists have found a way to create superheavy elements, leading to groundbreaking possibilities in chemistry.

Scientists have found that our bodies need 28 different elements to function properly. These are almost one-quarter of the periodic table and are mainly found in the first four periods.
