Chemists create and capture einsteinium, the elusive 99th element
Scientists have finally uncovered some of the basic chemical properties of einsteinium — one of the hardest elements to study.
All matter is composed of fundamental substances called elements. Depending on the combination of elements, the result is a different material, with different characteristics. And while some elements are naturally occurring, others are only now being realized as they are created inside particle accelerators. Here are all the latest discoveries and developments to help you keep up with the fascinating world of elements.
