The periodic table of the elements, principally created by the Russian chemist, Dmitry Mendeleev (1834-1907), celebrated its 150th anniversary last year. It would be hard to overstate its importance ...

Time to re-write the textbooks. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has confirmed the existence of four new elements with the atomic numbers 113, 115, 117, and 118.

Each element is not only given unique iconography in the periodic table, but each is given its own page with all of the above and other details such as symbol, melting point, boiling point ...

Numbers 114 and 116 will sit "down in the lower-right corner of the periodic table." In real life, both elements are "so large and unstable" that they can only be created in a lab, says Jennifer ...

Element 113 could wind up being called “Japonium,” periodic table watchers say. The team from Lawrence Livermore and their Russian colleagues had previously named element 116 Livermorium in ...
