If you're stuck solving the periodic table puzzle in the Blue Prince Laboratory, we have all the hints you need to figure it out.

More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the transuranium element berkelium. According to a new study, the electronic signature of ...

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.

The periodic table - AQA Mendeleev made an early periodic table. In the modern periodic table, elements are in order of atomic number in periods and groups. Electronic structures model how ...

China decried as "blackmail" on Tuesday U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to add a further tariff of 50% on its goods, ...

A research team recently discovered the first organometallic molecule — coined “berkelocene” — containing the heavy element berkelium at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or ...

After a year of fastidious planning, a microscopic sample of the ultra-rare radioactive element berkelium arrived ... looking at its position in the periodic table,” Arnold said.

Bismuth, the 83rd element in the periodic table, has been known since ancient times, but was often confused with lead and tin. In 1753, Claude François Geoffroy from France demonstrated that ...

Helium is one of the least reactive elements on the periodic table. Like the other noble gases, helium doesn’t gain or lose electrons easily and so does not normally form chemical compounds.

Ivan Dmochowski ponders how xenon, though initially slow to earn a spot in the periodic table, is now at the forefront of advances in science and technology. For all their nobility, elements of ...
