A new model rectifies the long-standing deficiencies of the electronegativity concept. Researchers from Skoltech have developed a simple, universal formula that accurately predicts the chemical ...
Elements heavier than uranium don’t exist naturally on Earth. Researchers make these massive elements at the end of the periodic table by smashing existing atoms together in particle accelerators.
Researchers used a particle accelerator and co-precipitation to study the chemical reactivity of single rutherfordium atoms. Such experiments will continue the advancement of relativistic chemistry ...
The iconic chart of elements has served chemistry well for 150 years. But it’s not the only option out there, and scientists are pushing its limits. By Siobhan Roberts When Sir Martyn Poliakoff, a ...
On a stage in the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization headquarters in Paris, Yuri Oganessian holds a microphone in one hand and a small remote control in the other. Over ...
