Researchers have developed a technique for generating atom clusters made from silver and other metals. Surprisingly enough, these so-called super atoms (clusters of 13 silver atoms, for example) ...

Unlock the secrets of the Periodic Table of Elements with these surprising facts and deepen your understanding of the building blocks of our universe. The periodic table of elements is a cornerstone ...

This rippling structure may look like a piece of origami, or an intricate scarf. In fact, it is geometry’s answer to the atom because it can’t be broken down into smaller components. Inspired by ...

Hebrew University reinvents the periodic table for artificial atoms 'In analogy to what we know from atoms, we can now combine different quantum dots ('artificial atoms') to form molecular-like ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. In the late 19th century, the Russian ...

The covalent radius (a measure of how large individual atoms are) shows different trends if you are moving across a period or down a group. A comparison of the relative covalent radii of atoms is ...

For now, they're known by working names, like ununseptium and ununtrium — two of the four new chemical elements whose discovery has been officially verified. The elements with atomic numbers 113, 115, ...

Elements in group 1 and group 2 are metals. Atoms of group 1 elements have one electron in their outer shell, and atoms of group 2 elements have two electrons in their outer shell. Elements in groups ...

Fano varieties are known as the basic “atomic structure” of geometry, but are notoriously difficult to discover and organize. Scientists from the Imperial College of London have been attempting to ...
