For the first time, a chemical bond was established between seaborgium and a carbon atom, opening perspectives for detailed investigations of chemical behavior at the end of the periodic table. The study focused on gaseous properties and adsorption to a silicon dioxide surface, comparing with similar compounds of neighboring elements.
Scientists at NIST and IU developed a tool that calculates fundamental properties of most atoms with historic accuracy, improving the prediction of atomic properties for fields like nuclear medicine and astrophysics. The technique enables precise determination of base energy levels, crucial for fundamental atomic research.
A team of chemists, led by Professor Thomas Albrecht-Schmitt at Florida State University, has made significant discoveries about the element californium. The findings suggest that californium can bond and separate other materials with remarkable abilities, making it resistant to radiation damage.
For the first time, astronomers have detected arsenic and selenium in an ancient star, revealing insights into the origin of these elements. The discovery sheds light on how stars produce heavier elements, including those found on Earth.
The University of Nottingham's YouTube sensation, The Periodic Table of Videos (PTOV), has gained a global audience of over 15 million. PTOV's creators reveal their secret to internet success by embracing spontaneity and humanizing scientists.
Researchers aim to identify all possible shapes across three, four, and five dimensions, linking them like the periodic table links chemical elements. They expect to develop a better understanding of geometric properties and relationships between shapes.
Researchers have compiled more reliable data, which will help science and industry. The changes include expressing atomic weights as intervals with upper and lower bounds for accuracy.
This book explores the human side of element discovery, from gallium to mercury, weaving science with classic lore. The author delves into the lives of scientists who discovered elements, uncovering tales of madness, love, and tragedy.
Researchers discovered that human bone samples can act as a biological marker for dozens of metals and toxic elements. The study analyzed rib bones from 84 citizens in a non-industrial region in Russia, finding the presence of 44 additional elements beyond those naturally present in the body.
Scientists have successfully synthesized element 117, a superheavy element with 117 protons, by fusing calcium and berkelium. The short-lived atom is unstable but lives longer than many lighter elements, confirming theories of an island of stability on the periodic table.
Researchers are now exploring the fringes of the Periodic Table in pursuit of another 'island of stability', similar to the one discovered in superheavy chemical elements. The next island could lie around atomic number 164, requiring more sophisticated technology and a deeper understanding of element formation.
Researchers have developed techniques to control most atoms using atomic coilguns and lasers, enabling the determination of neutrino mass and potential applications in atomic physics. The breakthroughs use a combination of supersonic beam technology and single-photon cooling methods.
Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin create an 'atomic coilgun' that slows and stops a wide range of atoms using pulsed magnetic fields. This breakthrough enables the study of previously inaccessible elements like hydrogen, with implications for atomic and nuclear physics.
A research team has discovered clusters of aluminum atoms that exhibit chemical properties similar to single atoms of metallic and nonmetallic elements when reacting with iodine. The discovery enables the creation of unique compounds with distinct properties.
The American Chemical Society's 80th anniversary issue highlights the Periodic Table of Elements, exploring its role in everyday life and containing pertinent technical information. The special issue features essays from Nobel Prize winners, industry experts, and authors who helped discover elements.
