Forging a new periodic table using nanostructures

February 19, 2013 – 11:00 am
  • Forging a new periodic table using nanostructures - Northwestern University's Chad Mirkin has developed a new set of building blocks based on nanoparticles and DNA. Using these tools, scientists will be able to build -- from the bottom up, just as nature does -- new and useful structures. Mirkin has built more than 200 different crystal structures with 17 different particle arrangements. Some of the lattice types can be found in nature, but many are new structures that have no naturally occurring mineral counterpart.

    Elemental name calling

    December 8, 2011 – 12:00 am
  • Livermore and Russian scientists propose new names for elements 114 and 116 - The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) today recommended new proposed names for elements 114 and 116, the latest heavy elements to be added to the periodic table. Scientists of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)-Dubna collaboration proposed the names as Flerovium for element 114 and Livermorium for element 116.
