Battery Pioneers Who Made Mobile Revolution Possible Win Nobel Chemistry Prize

Rather than a chemical, each symbol abbreviates a relevant social problem affecting the world today.

The ancient Babylonians were the first to use sophisticated geometry – a staggering 1,400 years before it was previously thought to have been developed.

Ask most people what the hardest material on Earth is and they will probably answer “diamond.”

So the periodic table has expanded again with the addition late last year of four new superheavy elements, bringing the known total up to 118.

Elements 113, 115, 117, 118 have been discovered by scientists in Japan, Russia, and America, completing row 7 of the periodic table.

A team of Japanese scientists have met the criteria for naming a new element, the synthetic highly radioactive element 113, more than a dozen years after they began working to create it

Officials investigating a huge explosion at a warehouse in Tianjin in China have discovered a store of 700 tonnes of sodium cyanide – more than 70 times the legal limit allowed.

In Aug. 10, 1915, in a trench on a peninsula in Turkey, 27-year-old Henry Moseley died. The loss to science is incalculable.

Did you know that the discovery of a way to make ammonia was the single most important reason for the world’s population explosion from 1.6 billion in 1900 to 7 billion today?

But how this amazing sense works to discriminate odors is controversial.

If you’ve ever sat opposite a doctor and wondered what she was scribbling on her notepad, the answer may soon not only be medical notes on your condition, but real-time chemical preparations for an instant diagnostic test.
