Researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in The Netherlands have developed a technique for generating atom clusters made from silver and other metals. Surprisingly enough, these ...

Scientists have started a new periodic table for quantum dots, which they refer to as “artificial atoms.” Quantum dots are nano-sized particles that are made of semiconducting materials. Researchers ...

A new chart for highly charged ions (HCIs) has been proposed, aiming to replicate the conventional periodic table’s ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. In the late 19th century, the Russian ...

For years, physicists have mapped the stability of atomic nuclei with remarkable confidence. The periodic table, with its neat rows and columns, hides a more chaotic reality underneath, where protons ...

First established in 1869, the periodic table quickly took the scientific world by storm as a means of properly organizing elements. Beyond being a helpful learning tool, the periodic table allowed ...

The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon ...

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 ...

A new computational framework maps 3D atomic positions in amorphous materials, achieving full accuracy for silica using ...

Six atoms may seem minuscule–especially if they exist for only fractions of a second–but they can have huge implications. The recent announcement that Russian and American scientists finally managed ...
