Adamantium, bolognium, dilithium. Element Zero, Kryptonite. Mythril, Netherite, Orichalcum, Unobtanium. We love the idea of fictional elements with miraculous properties that science has yet to discover. But is it really possible that...

There are 118 elements on the periodic table, but it seems like only a handful of them get any attention. But just because you haven't heard of an element doesn't mean that it isn't a vital part of everyday life! Learn about these lesser...

Scientists have been slowly extending the periodic table one element at a time, pushing to higher and higher masses, and have discovered some incredibly useful materials along the way. But the elements at the current end of the table are...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how elements and molecules are made of atoms. In a pure sample of a pure substance the average mass remains the same. If more than one atom is found in a molecule the ration of average masses...

Hank reveals why our love affair with the rare earth elements has a dark side.

Four of the heaviest elements on the periodic table are finally getting names!

Phones, TVs, solar panels, and electric car batteries are all made of some rare and unusual elements. As our modern world creates more and more of these technologies, will things go from "rare" to "nonexistent" and what will we do then?

There are 118 elements on the periodic table, but it seems like only a handful of them get any attention. But just because you haven't heard of an element doesn't mean that it isn't a vital part of everyday life.

Not all of the naturally occurring elements were discovered here on Earth. Helium was discovered by examining sunlight, and that same technique is now teaching us about the composition of distant galaxies.

Hank introduces you to the latest element to be created -- and explains why we make them in the first place -- plus the science of exploding whales. It's a thing, people.

One of the most famous elements in the periodic table doesn't really belong anywhere chemists would like to put it.

Some elements can basically be liquids and solids at the same time, which is a whole new state of matter, and scientists have discovered a new species of human in the Republic of the Philippines!

This week's SciShow news brings you discoveries involving two of the most exotic substances on Earth - the world's rarest element and the world's oldest water. Two great tastes that taste great together? Stay tuned to find out.
