Scientists have captured the fundamental chemistry of the element berkelium, or Bk on the periodic table. A little known -- and difficult to obtain -- element on the fringes of the periodic table is ...

Chemistry has broken the spirits of many struggling high-schoolers and university students alike, but there might be a handy tool that can finally guide you through the various elements and help you ...

Elements heavier than uranium don’t exist naturally on Earth. Researchers make these massive elements at the end of the periodic table by smashing existing atoms together in particle accelerators.

Elementary school teachers can use these activities to enrich the study of many different science topics in the elementary curriculum. Topics are aligned with curriculum for physical science, earth ...

The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could successfully predict their masses, densities, how they would link up with other ...

Researchers used a particle accelerator and co-precipitation to study the chemical reactivity of single rutherfordium atoms. Such experiments will continue the advancement of relativistic chemistry ...

Chemistry in Context is intended for chemistry students who are non-science majors. Rather than presenting chemistry in the atoms-first approach, CiC extracts chemistry from students' surroundings.

Every field of science has its favorite anniversary. For physics, it’s Newton’s Principia of 1687, the book that introduced the laws of motion and gravity. Biology celebrates Darwin’s On the Origin of ...

In a significant breakthrough for the scientific community, a new element has been confirmed on the periodic table. This discovery holds potential implications for a wide range of scientific fields, ...
