Jeez, I wish I was young and in school again!
just damn!
Call me when they ave developed “Dilithium” “Durainium” and “Tritanium” I wanna build me a starship...
Superatomic transparent aluminum- someone ping me when this happens.
Chemistry bump
Interesting stuff
But it is goofy to talk about a new periodic table
The periodic table groups ‘elements’
Each element is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus
The paper describes compounds that share electrons in a unique way, but there is no change in the nucleus
BTW - the periodic table is already three dimensional. Each element has different isotopes...different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus
Those look like the little candies they used to put in the toy doctors’ kits...sometimes located next to the candy cigarettes.
Great! now we can build a portable nuclear (how do I pronounce that?) reactor.
“Super atoms”.
We called these molecules when I was in school.
I have no significant background in chemistry, but my imagination is running wild here... Why hasn't the Pentagon clamped a lid on this research? Does the research have no application, say, to explosives, among other things of interest to the Pentagon? Seems to me it potentially could have, especially when the researchers begin talking about a "limitless" number of possibilities and applications.
