Researchers have long been hunting for a way to make the elusive elements more stable so they can be better studied.

In recent decades, researchers have pushed the boundaries of the periodic table, synthesizing the heaviest elements known to ...

The noble gases (Helium, Neon, Argon etc.) were not discovered until much later, which explains why there was a periodicity of 7 and not 8 in Newlands table. Newlands did not leave any gaps for ...

The photon energy needed to release an electron depends on the atom it strikes. Neon bulbs have all manner of electrode materials. [Ashish] shows that a particular neon lamp can be excited to emit ...

An international team led by scientists of GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz, succeeded in determining the chemical properties of the ...

Ah, the humble neon lamp. The familiar warm orange glow has graced the decks of many a DIY timepiece, sometimes in a purely indicating duty, and sometimes forming a memory element in place of a ...

Researchers from Madrid explain a phenomenon that allows the direction of light emission to be controlled at the atomic scale ...

There are lots of different substances but only just over a hundred elements. An element is a substance that is made up of only one kind of atom. The atoms in a particular element are the same as ...
