Argonne and the University of Chicago researchers have developed an advanced membrane technology that extracts lithium from ...

Understanding the mechanical properties of materials is crucial for engineering applications. Poisson's ratio., which measures a material's lateral strain response to uniaxial stress., and the average ...

A new version of the periodic table of elements has predicted hundreds of highly charged ions that could be used to create the next generation of optical atomic clocks. The periodic table, first ...

The politics of the periodic table — who gets the credit and why Dimitri Mendeleev typically gets credit its creation, but there were many more chemists who should be recognized ...

Where does the periodic table of elements end, and what processes give rise to heavy elements? An international research team has conducted experiments at the GSI/FAIR accelerator facility and ...

Changes to the periodic table, including new elements and updated atomic weights, highlight its dynamic nature and the evolution of chemical science.

The colors of rubies and emeralds are so striking that they define shades of red and green – ruby red and emerald green. But ...

Where does the periodic table of chemical elements end and which processes lead to the existence of heavy elements? An international research team has conducted experiments at the GSI/FAIR accelerator ...

Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The team believes this method could potentially help synthesize the ...

Ion charge-state distributions have been measured with high time resolution for short (20 /spl mu/s) and long (250 /spl mu/s) vacuum discharges of 300 A. Charge-state data for 3 /spl mu/s after ...

A new study lays the groundwork to expand the periodic table with a search for element 120, to be made by slamming electrically charged titanium atoms, or ions, into a californium target.
