More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the ...

But how many of these elements do you know? Test your knowledge and compete with other Live Science readers to see who can ...

The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

Einsteinium-255, produced through irradiation in ILL’s high-flux reactor, provided a continuous supply of fermium-255, ...

The breakthrough disrupts long-held theories about the chemistry of the elements that follow uranium in the periodic table. A research team led by the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National ...

Scientists have found that our bodies need 28 different elements to function properly. These are almost one-quarter of the periodic table and are mainly found in the first four periods.

During the process, they discovered something unexpected about this particular f-block element on the periodic table that could help us understand transuranium elements more broadly as well as ...

The pioneering nuclear chemist Glenn Seaborg discovered berkelium at Berkeley Lab in 1949. It was one of many achievements ...
