A brand new model of the periodic desk of parts has predicted tons of of extremely charged ions that may very well be used to create the following technology of optical atomic clocks.

The periodic desk, first invented by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869, teams the 118 identified chemical parts in keeping with their chemical properties. As a result of parts in the identical components of the periodic desk share comparable traits, this ordering enabled chemists to establish gaps within the desk a long time in the past, and has since helped uncover the weather to fill them.
