The first version of the periodic table would not come along for more than a hundred and forty years after his death. With the modern atomic structure not surfacing for another 30 years after that.

That table measured 90 by 46 μm. This new table (detail in the bottom image) is just 14 by 7 μm. Richard Cousins created the periodic table and portraits using electron beam lithography.

Of course, that hasn’t stopped the table from being reimagined many times. Most recently, designer Alison Haigh created this minimalist periodic table, built less for understanding the nature of ...

The periodic table also reveals trends in atomic size, electronegativity, and other properties as we move across periods and down groups. (The content is generated with the assistance of ...

An alternative periodic table of elements focusing on highly charged ions reveals new science that could support the quest for more accurate optical atomic clocks. Close. Advertisement.

The size of the periodic table that I have constructed is a fantastic teaching tool. The periodicity, the trends, the uses, properties and history of each element are displayed in a colourful, eye ...
