The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could ...

The updated table could be an effective educational tool for students of all ages. Having something tangible and recognizable attached to each element could help students to more easily memorize ...

By Brian Mastroianni December 2, 2016 / 1:36 PM EST / CBS News It’s now time to say hello, officially, to the four new additions to the Periodic Table of Elements.

The periodic table stares down from the walls of just about every chemistry lab. The credit for its creation generally goes to Dimitri Mendeleev, a Russian chemist who in 1869 wrote out the known ...

The periodic table of the elements, principally created by the Russian chemist, Dmitry Mendeleev (1834-1907), celebrated its 150th anniversary last year. It would be hard to overstate its importance ...

In this periodic table of elements quiz, you have 10 minutes to name as many elements as you can, given only their symbol, atomic weight and the broad group they live in.

This is also why they’re a good candidate for a periodic table of their own. Scientists can arrange them in structures very like naturally occurring atoms of “real” elements.
