The iconic chart of elements has served chemistry well for 150 years. But it’s not the only option out there, and scientists are pushing its limits. By Siobhan Roberts When Sir Martyn Poliakoff, 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 ...

Since the invention of the periodic table 150 years ago this month, scientists have worked to fill in the rows of elements and make sense of their properties. But researchers have also pursued a ...

As of 2019, the Periodic Table of the Elements has been around for 150 years. Maybe you've felt a certain chemistry with 2019 but don't know why? Maybe it's because this year marks the 150th ...

Last week, we explored the evolution of the periodic table, with all its elements in order. Now that we’re well-organized, let’s dive into the reasoning. * The table is generally sorted by the number ...

But the periodic table didn’t actually start with Mendeleev. Many had tinkered with arranging the elements. Decades before, chemist John Dalton tried to create a table as well as some rather ...

It’s another raw day in St. Petersburg, Russia, but the man striding down the University Embankment along the Neva River isn’t pondering how the icy wind off the Gulf of Finland chills his bones or ...

An Australian man described as a "science nerd" may face jail time, after attempting to collect all the elements in the periodic table. The periodic table is an arrangement of all the known elements, ...
