As a young boy, John de la Parra’s idea of playtime entailed exploring the plants and crops of his family’s small farm in Boaz, Alabama. His greatest influence was his grandmother, who introduced him ...

118 elements and seven periods, though just one period of high school chemistry is enough to get confused by it. This week, we’re exploring the history behind the periodic table.

The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could successfully predict their masses, densities, how they would link up with other ...

Since element 99 -- einsteinium -- was discovered in 1952 from the debris of the first hydrogen bomb, scientists have performed very few experiments with it because it is so hard to create and is ...
