Researchers have discovered a new class of materials -- called intercrystals -- with unique electronic properties that could power future technologies. Intercrystals exhibit newly discovered forms of ...

The term 'rare earth' dates to an 18th‑century Swedish mine and survives mainly out of habit. In truth, these 17 metals are ...

Scientists have discovered the elusive properties hidden within promethium, a rare earth element that has remained largely ...

A new version of the periodic table of elements has predicted hundreds of highly charged ions that could be used to create the next generation of optical atomic clocks. The periodic table ...

And the framework doesn’t stop at known approaches: Like a true periodic table, it hints at missing elements, guiding researchers toward unexplored algorithmic combinations. By consolidating ...

Just like the periodic table of chemical elements, which initially contained blank squares that were later filled in by scientists, the periodic table of machine learning also has empty spaces.

the U.S. government designated a large swath of the periodic table of elements — 50 minerals in all — as “critical.” The United States obtains more than half of them, including a category ...

from gold and platinum all the way up to the heaviest elements in the periodic table – and maybe even beyond.” If their model is correct, suggests that the origin of some heavy elements involves ...
