A longstanding mystery of the periodic table involves a group of unique elements called lanthanides. Also known as rare earth ...

Salt may be the most routine ingredient in the world. It would be difficult to find a kitchen without it in some form. Table salt is the most common, and it comes from extracted salt from underground ...

This theory that decreased refractory elements lead to higher magnetic activity has an interesting corollary. Since planets can bind refractory material, stars that host planets are more likely to ...

With the dawn of nuclear physics in the 20th century, it was discovered that heavy elements could transform into others, either naturally, by radioactive decay, or in the laboratory, under a ...
