New frontiers: the new cooling technique could lead to ultracold experiments across the periodic table. (Courtesy: iStock/Eyematrix) Researchers in Singapore have used a magneto-optical trap (MOT) to ...

(CBS) - Searching the Internet you can come across thousands of videos of cats, dogs, pranks and just about anything and everything you can think of. But what about music put to chemistry? Not so much ...

Since element 99 -- einsteinium -- was discovered in 1952 from the debris of the first hydrogen bomb, scientists have performed very few experiments with it because it is so hard to create and is ...

On the periodic table, most elements have at least one stable form. But others have only unstable forms, all of which decay by emitting radiation and transforming into different elements until ...

Since element 99 - einsteinium - was discovered in 1952 at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) from the debris of the first hydrogen bomb, scientists have ...

Dr. Alexander Yakushev, spokesperson of the experiment (right) and Dominik Dietzel, PhD student from Johannes Gutenberg Mainz University, work on the detector channel used to register the short-lived ...

A physicist lays claim to being instrumental in the discovery of four new super-heavy chemical elements—atomic numbers 113, 115, 117, and 118—recently added to the periodic table. A UT physicist has ...

Element 117 looks set to claim the highest slot yet on the periodic table, thanks to an experiment in Germany that has independently confirmed its existence. In the process, the team also glimpsed a ...

The periodic table of the elements isn't as confusing as it looks. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Scientists had a rudimentary ...
