The Cassiopeia A supernova remnant reveals that massive exploding stars can forge far more of life's essential ingredients ...

A new nuclear forensics technique enabled the rapid analysis of nuclear materials for most of the elements in the periodic ...

Boron, a chemical element next to carbon in the periodic table, is known for its unique ability to form complex bond networks. Unlike carbon, which typically bonds with two or three neighboring atoms, ...

Some of the elements used by living systems are far more abundant in Cassiopeia A than we thought, hinting that some parts of ...

From elements that explode on contact with water to those that vanish in seconds, the periodic table is full of strange, rare ...

You probably studied the "regular" periodic table in school—but did you know there are more versions of the periodic table ...

Her experiments on the heaviest elements deepened our understanding of radioactivity.

Researchers from The University of Osaka created a reagent for important building-block molecules with an abundant main-group element, gallium. These early findings show that an organic gallium ...

Primordial nucleosynthesis during the early universe generated hydrogen, helium, and minor lithium-7 before the cosmos cooled, halting further fusion. Stellar interiors synthesize elements up to iron ...

The app is designed to make learning about the periodic table interactive and accessible. By offering users the ability to explore element properties, search by atomic number, name, or symbol, and ...

Even in the best designs, noise and interference sneak in to reduce the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), obscure desired signals, and impair measurement accuracy and repeatability. Digitizing instruments ...
