First published in 1928, Janet’s table correctly positioned the actinide elements (from 89, actinium, to 102, nobelium), many years before most of them were even discovered or created in the lab.

After a 5-month review, the names of four new elements have been approved, so Nihonium, Moscovium, Tennessine, and Oganesson can now officially join the periodic table. The discovery of these ...

2019 marks the 150th anniversary of the Periodic Table, a unique tool, enabling scientist to predict the appearance and properties of matter on the Earth and in the the Universe. Different elements ...
