The position of an element on the periodic table provides information about its properties. The majority of elements are metals and they are found on the left and in the middle of the periodic table.

The electronic configuration of an element is crucial in determining its chemical behavior and thus, its classification as a metal or nonmetal. Sulfur (S) has an atomic number of 16, meaning each ...

Graphene is an exceptionally strong and conductive material composed of a single atomic layer of carbon. Its discovery sparked interest in the development of other two-dimensional (2D) materials, and, ...

Researchers at Flatiron Institute’s Center for Computational Quantum Physics in New York City have identified a mechanism that explains the characteristic properties of strange metals. The new theory ...
