Plutonium is one of the most complex elements in the periodic table. First synthesized and isolated in 1940 by scientists at ...
Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom. Iron is an ...
Scientists have coaxed one of the universe’s most stubborn elements into a new compound. Formed under intense pressures, the newly discovered compound packs helium atoms into crystalline iron, ...
One of the rarest and most mysterious elements in the periodic table has finally given up some crucial chemical secrets, eight decades after its discovery. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory ...
In 1923, Austrian chemist Fritz Pregl was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his contributions to quantitative microanalysis as it became an essential tool to determine the elements present in a ...
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 ...
The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them. Scientists believe undiscovered chemical compounds could help remove ...
