Call it Astoundium -- at least for now. Swedish scientists report fresh evidence confirming the existence of a new element for the periodic table, the “telephone book” of matter that makes up the ...

To expand the periodic table, it might be time to go titanium. A new study lays the groundwork to expand the periodic table with a search for element 120, to be made by slamming electrically charged ...

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.

A new chart for highly charged ions (HCIs) has been proposed, aiming to replicate the conventional periodic table’s ...

The periodic table - the chart studied by generations of children and chemists - is to get a little more crowded. Scientists yesterday announced they are to add a 'super heavy' element, called ...

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, ...

Atoms of a new super-heavy element — the as-yet-unnamed element 117 — have reportedly been created by scientists in Germany, moving it closer to being officially recognized as part of the standard ...

Cations are ions that are positively charged. Anions are ions that are negatively charged. Ions are charged atoms or molecules. If a balanced atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a ...

Scientists around the world are celebrating the latest entry to the periodic table. It has taken more than a decade for element 112, the biggest and heaviest atom yet, to be officially recognised. Now ...
