An international team led by scientists of GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz, succeeded in determining the chemical properties of the ...

Molecular compounds with heavy elements, like americium, curium and others can now be synthesized in a streamlined and efficient way thanks to a new technique developed by Lawrence Livermore National ...

In a significant breakthrough for the scientific community, a new element has been confirmed on the periodic table. This discovery holds potential implications for a wide range of scientific fields, ...

At the far end of the periodic table is a realm where nothing is quite as it should be. The elements here, starting at atomic number 104 (rutherfordium), have never been found in nature. In fact, they ...

What are Endangered & Critical Elements? Of the 118 elements that make up everything—from the compounds in a chemist’s arsenal to consumer products on the shelf—44 will face supply limitations in the ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

Catalysts that could recycle carbon dioxide into clean fuel. Compounds that could boost the power of batteries. Proteins that could transform how we treat disease. Every day, scientists hunt for new ...
