Scientists think an asteroid could contain previously unknown elements. Asteroid 33 Polyhymnia appears to be denser than the densest element in the Periodic Table. The densest naturally occurring ...

Standard atomic weights, those numbers emblazoned under the elements on the periodic table, were once thought of as unchanging constants of nature. But researchers have tweaked the atomic weights of ...

For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based ...

Nineteen elements on the periodic table — including gold, cadmium, arsenic and aluminum — are getting their atomic weights adjusted. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) ...

Whether you are an aspiring Chemistry student or just a normal know-it-all geek, the Periodic Table offers you the simplest way to keep tabs on the atomic elements and their chemical properties. And ...

For centuries, the quest for new elements was a driving force in many scientific disciplines. Understanding an atom's structure and the development of nuclear science allowed scientists to accomplish ...

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese scientists behind the discovery of element 113, the first atomic element found in Asia - indeed, the first found outside Europe or the United States - have dubbed it ...
