Meitnerium
(Preview)
Meitnerium was first synthesised on August 29, 1982 by a German research team led by Peter Armbruster and Gottfried Münzenberg at the Institute for Heavy Ion Research (Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung) in Darmstadt. The team bombarded a target of bismuth-209 with accelerated nuclei of ir...

Chemistry sets
(Preview)
Chemistry experiments of yesterday recreated in lab Portable chemistry sets were first used in the 18th century, and over the years have influenced generations of budding scientists. But sales started declining in the 1970s, due partly to health and safety concerns which restricted the chemica...

Perpendicular paramagnetic bonding
(Preview)
Chemical bond discovered that only exists in space The bond, of the chemical variety, occurs in the presence of very strong magnetic fields, such as those found around ultra-dense white dwarf stars. Its discovery not only demonstrates the existence of an unfamiliar and exotic type of chemistry, i...

Aerographite
(Preview)
Aerographites are ultralow density solids that resemble classical aerogels in many regards (in fact, by some definitions, aerographites are aerogels, simply produced by an unconventional process). At their essence they are frameworks with hollow struts made of graphite deposited through ch...

Fougerite
(Preview)
Evidence of oceanic 'green rust' offers hope for the future A rare kind of mineral which scientists hope could be used to remove toxic metals and radioactive species from the environment played a similar, crucial role early in Earth's history. Research carried out by an international team of lead...

Plasmon rulers
(Preview)
Plasmon rulers measure in 3D Researchers in the US and Germany have used a plasmon ruler to show in principle how to measure the three dimensional position of objects at the nano-scale. The ruler, which consists of a stack of gold nano-rods, could one day be used to improve understanding of soft matte...

Stipitatic acid
(Preview)
Chemists and biologists from the University of Bristol have finally cracked one of the longest standing chemical mysteries. In a paper published today in PNAS, the team demonstrate exactly how an unusual class of compounds known as tropolones are synthesised in fungi. [url=http://www.bris.ac...

Californium
(Preview)
Californium is a synthetic radioactive metallic chemical element in the actinide series with the symbol Cf and atomic number 98. Californium was first synthesized at the University of California, Berkeley by the physics researchers Stanley G. Thompson, Kenneth Street, Jr., Albert Ghiorso, an...

Atomtronics
(Preview)
Exotic New Matter Expected in Ultracold Atoms Just as NASA engineers test new rocket designs in computer studies before committing themselves to full prototypes, so physicists will often model matter under various circumstances to see whether something new appears. This is especially true of a...

Tellurium
(Preview)
Tellurium detected for the first time in ancient stars. Nearly 13.7 billion years ago, the universe was made of only hydrogen, helium and traces of lithium - byproducts of the Big Bang. Some 300 million years later, the very first stars emerged, creating additional chemical elements throughout th...

Colloids

Cosmology in a petri dish Scientists have found that micron-size particles which are trapped at fluid interfaces exhibit a collective dynamic that is subject to seemingly unrelated governing laws. These laws show a smooth transitioning from long-ranged cosmological-style gravitational at...

Rare moon mineral found in Australia Australian scientists have discovered a rare mineral previously known only to be found in lunar rock samples and used it to date an Earth rock which formed over a billion years ago. Named tranquillityite after the Sea of Tranquility, where astronauts landed on t...
