A new study lays the groundwork to expand the periodic table with a search for element 120, to be made by slamming electrically charged titanium atoms, or ions, into a californium target.

R esearchers may have found a way to create a new superheavy element, known as "element 120," which would be so hefty that it ...

Swedish scientists report fresh evidence confirming the existence of a new element for the periodic table, a substance that doesn’t naturally occur anywhere on earth.

This lesson utilizes an adaptation of the board game Periodic: A Game of the Elements to help students better understand general periodic trends. This adaptation was created for use during one ...

The periodic table may soon gain a new element, physicists at Lund University in Sweden announced Tuesday. A team of Lund researchers is the second to successfully create atoms of element 115.

It's been almost two years since I've done a roundup of periodic tables (and six years since I posted the first one). Oh, you know the periodic table of elements; you may have even studied it. But ...
