Understanding how a small, gas-phase molecule containing an actinide atom reacts with other molecules helps us better understand the chemistry of heavy elements. These elements are often available in ...

This lesson utilizes an adaptation of the board game Periodic: A Game of the Elements to help students better understand both general periodic trends and the law of conservation of energy. This ...

The periodic table is part of the bedrock of chemistry education. Students use it to look up values like an element’s atomic mass, and it serves as a visual reference for the trends in physical ...

More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the transuranium element berkelium. According to a new study, the electronic signature of ...

It's elemental—scientists agree that the periodic table is incomplete. And when it comes to unveiling parts of the periodic table yet undiscovered, the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National ...
