The Circular Periodic Table Of Elements
3:40AM Jesus Diaz | Researcher Mohd Abubakr says that his circular periodic table is better than Mendeleev’s. I’d have given him Nobel Prize in chemistry — if Obama hadn’t got it first for mixing himself a whiskey with Red Bull onboard Air Force One. More »

7:40AM Jesus Diaz | An University of California Los Angeles’ team of chemists, biologists and engineers has developed a funky lab-in-a-chip capable of performing 1,024 chemical reactions in parallel. Using microfluidics, the system may dramatically accelerate drug development for cancer and other diseases: More »

How To Build Your Own Chemistry Set
6:00AM Mark Wilson | While an off-the-shelf chemistry set of today consists of little more than baking soda, some vinegar and a plastic volcano, old sets were filled with good stuff, like explosive nitrates and deadly cyanide compounds. More »

Periodic Table of Videos Makes Chemistry Extremely Watchable
7:30AM Gizmodo US Edition | Science nerds and fans of British accents rejoice! University of Nottingham scientist/professor Martyn Poliakoff and video journalist Brady Haran have put together what they’ve dubbed The Periodic Table of Videos, where each square contains a link to a video showing some fascinating facts about its element. Who knew Bismuth was so pretty (quite honestly, who knew what Bismuth was in the first place)? Best of all, the project is continually updated, so even after you’re done with the 117 videos currently on the site, you can come back later to check for newer ones. The introductory clip gives you a taste of what you’ll find on their site. [
