If you want to understand how our world works, the periodic table holds the answers. When the seventh row of the periodic table of elements was completed in June 2016 with the addition of four final elements—nihonium, moscovium, tennessine, and oganesson—we at last could identify all the ingredients necessary to construct our world.In Elemental, chemist and science educator Tim James provides an informative, entertaining, and quirkily illustrated guide to the table that shows clearly how t...

La science est d'une lenteur déconcertante. Elle progresse au rythme de quelques centimètres par décennie, en vérifiant chaque fait trois fois, de sorte que lorsqu'une hypothèse est confirmée ou infirmée, les personnes qui l'ont proposée à l'origine sont souvent à la retraite ou décédées. Cependant, de temps en temps, les lunes du destin s'alignent et nous font dévier de notre trajectoire vers une victoire inattendue et involontaire. Laissez-vous conter par Tim James comment des découverte...
