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 ...

PARIS, January 29. /TASS/. Russian scientists will hold the first experiments at the Super-Heavy Element Factory in Dubna near Moscow in April to synthesize the 114th and 115th elements of Mendeleev’s ...

The periodic table merges scientific inquiry, international politics, hero worship, desires for structure and desires for credit. Formally, the modern periodic table is a systematic arrangement of the ...

But the periodic table didn’t actually start with Mendeleev. Many had tinkered with arranging the elements. Decades before, chemist John Dalton tried to create a table as well as some rather ...
