Few outside the mining world could pick molybdenum from a periodic table. Even fewer could explain why the obscure element ...

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 ...

Abstract: The old security measures are failing because of the exponential rate at which the technology environment is expanding, effectively outlawing modern technologies. Similarly, to that, ...

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 ...

Abstract: Based on the output frequency response function of nonlinear systems, a novel approach to the design of a nonlinear feedback control for periodic disturbance suppression is proposed. A ...
