You interact with about two-thirds of the elements of the periodic table every day. Some, like carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, make up our bodies and the air we breathe. Yet there is also a class of elements so unstable they can only be made in a lab. These superheavy elements are the purview of a small group stretching the boundaries of chemistry. Can they extend the periodic table beyond the 118 in it now? Find out scientists are using particle accelerators to create element 120 and why they've skipped over element 119. Plus, if an element exists for only a fraction of a second in the lab, can we still say that counts as existing? Guests: Mark Miodownik – professor of materials and society at the University of College London and the author of “It's a Gas: The Sublime and Elusive Elements That Expand Our World.” Kit Chapman – Science historian at Falmouth University, author of “Superheavy; Making and Breaking the Periodic Table.” Jennifer Pore – Research Scientist of Heavy Elements at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

I 1989 mødes to mænd, som repræsenterer hvert sit nukleare forskningscenter - på hver sin side af den kolde krig. Og på trods af tidens spændinger, så bliver det startskuddet til en skelsættende epoke for udforskningen af de supertunge grundstoffer. Den umage alliance kan du høre meget mere om i denne episode af Periodisk. —Hvis du vil vide mere om samarbejdet mellem Joint Institute of Nuclear Research i Dubna og Lawrence Livermore National Library, så kan vi varmt anbefale bogen “Superheavy: Making and Breaking the Periodic Table” af Kit Chapman fra 2019. Chapman har også skrevet en række artikler til mediet Chemistry World, der berører samarbejdet, blandt andet artiklen ‘One of the most succesful scientific collaborations between Russia and the US discovered five elements - and then quietly folded' fra januar 2024: https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/the-story-of-how-the-most-successful-us-russia-scientific-collaboration-collapsed/4018607.articleVidenskabsjournalisten Rebecca Mileham besøgte Dubna i 2018 og interviewede blandt andet Yuri Oganesson til en længere artikel om samarbejdet for Royal Society - den kan du læse på hendes hjemmeside her: https://rebeccamileham.com/interviewing-yuri-oganessian/—Periodisk - er en RAKKERPAK original produceret af Rakkerpak Productions.Historierne du hører bygger på journalistisk research og fakta.

Kit Chapman - Racing Green: How Motorsport Science Can Save the World... with TRE´s Giles Brown

When you think of motorsport, your mind might think of the speed, the danger, or the excitement. But it might surprise you to find that it is the motorsport industry, and its various R&D Departments, that have contributed to a wide range of applications - from climate change solutions to help in the fight against Covid. Dr. Kit Chapman, an award-winning science journalist and author of ‘Racing Green: How Motorsport Science Can Save The World' - joined Jonathan to discuss. Dr. Susan Kelleher & Dr. Jessamyn Fairfield also joined Jonathan to run through the top stories from the week in science for Newsround.

This episode examines the science behind auto racing by digging into Racing Green: How Motorsports Became Smarter, Safer, Cleaner and Faster, by science journalist and science historian Kit Chapman. In this his second book, following Superheavy in 2019, the former Chemistry World comment editor chronicles how motorsport science is advancing and becoming more environmentally friendly, and he describes that ways in which these developments on the track are changing the world for the better. Chapman uses exclusive interviews with folks at NASCAR's Research and Development Center, Formula 1 insiders, engineers, scientists and drivers to tell this story. For us, he also recounts some of the exotic travels he embarked on to thoroughly research this topic, the fascinating people he met along the way, and lessons he's learned from writing the book. He even talks about the serious curve balls thrown by the Covid-19 global pandemic, and how they showed up in his book, as well as on the racing track, in hospitals and beyond. 

Welcome to Episode 170 of our Formula 1 podcast, Grid Talk, and another in our F1 Fireside series. In this F1 Fireside, George Howson sits down with Kit Chapman, author of 'Racing Green: How Motorsport Science Can Save the World.'

The periodic table is a cornerstone of the science world and core to how we understand the world around us. But the periodic table is a living document, one that has undergone significant change since its inception in 1869. So, how are we adding to the periodic table and what exactly are these superheavy elements? Dr Kit Chapman, award-winning science journalist and broadcaster & author of ‘Superheavy: Making and Breaking the Periodic Table’ joined Jonathan to discuss.

What Deliberate Power Outages in California Have to Do With Wildfire RiskGuest: Bruce Cain, PhD, Professor of Political Science, Senior Fellow, Stanford Woods Institute for the EnvironmentThere's a high risk of wildfire in Northern California right now because of strong winds and dry conditions. So PG&E –California's largest utility –has deliberately cut power to as many has 800,000 customers over the last two days, spanning 21 counties including parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. Equipment owned and maintained by PG&E has sparked many of California's major wildfires recently, including the state's deadliest and destructive blaze –the Camp Fire which destroyed the town of Paradise last year and killed 86 people. How to Fight Dirty MoneyGuest: Channing Mavrellis, Director of Global Financial Integrity's Transnational Crime ProgramAround the world, there are countries-sometimes called “developing” or “emerging” -that receive millions of dollars in foreign aid and investment every year. The hope is that at some point the country will grow to the point that it no longer needs foreign aid to sustain a thriving economy. But many countries seem stalled. Why isn't that money making a difference? Because all this time, even more money has been flowing out of those same countries through crime, corruption and tax evasion. Argentina's Ambassador to the U.S. Guest: His Excellency Fernando Oris de Roa, Ambassador of Argentina to the United StatesRelations between the US and Argentina have grown stronger in the four years since Argentina's current president Mauricio Macri was elected. But President Macri lost the first round of his re-election effort and a significant chance he and his more centrist political party will be out come the general election on Oct. 27. Making and Breaking the Periodic TableGuest: Kit Chapman, Science Journalist, Author of “Superheavy: Making and Breaking the Periodic Table”The periodic table hanging on the wall in every science classroom turns 150 this year. The elements on it –from hydrogen to helium –are the building blocks of everything on Earth. But not all 118 of them are found in nature. Twenty-six elements on the periodic table today are entirely man-made –and some of those have never actually been seen by scientists. So how do we know they exist? And what's the point of making them if we can't do anything with them? The stories of these mysterious elements at the far reaches of the periodic table are the focus of journalist Kit Chapman's new book called Superheavy. Listener Questions about Cold and Flu RemediesGuest:  Nina Shapiro, Doctor and Author of “Hype: A Doctor's Guide to Medical Myths, Exaggerated Claims, and Bad Advice –How to Tell What's Real and What's Not.”

In this episode of Talk Nerdy, Cara is joined by science journalist Kit Chapman to talk about his new book, "Superheavy: Making and Breaking the Periodic Table." They discuss all things chemistry, including the fascinating history of its discoveries. Follow Kit: @ChemistryKit.

For this month’s Book Club podcast, it’s a highly unusual review scenario, as we get to grips with Superheavy: Making and Breaking the Periodic Table, written by none other than Kit Chapman (yes, the very same Kit Chapman who was, up until recently, Chemistry World’s cosplay loving Comment editor).  We were in the privileged position to hear about Kit’s book from almost the moment he decided to write it. This, perhaps unsurprisingly, was a task which required him to travel around the globe in search of answers to some of chemistry’s greatest questions: where do elements actually come from and how are they made? And: What happens when what we know about the periodic table turns out to be…well…less right than we thought it was?

Patrick sent us this question: "My wife wants me to light a candle after doing my number two, to get rid of the smell. Does this actually do anything?"Phil Sansom has been sniffing out an answer, with the help of Kit Chapman from Chemistry World. Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists

Before the Space Race there was a race to find and name new elements. Atom smashers and reactors were the tools to make new super-heavy metals - unknown on earth. Who leaked the announcement of two new radioactive elements on a Children's Quiz show ? Transfermium wars - What were they ? Who died getting Einsteinium ? Chemistry World journalist and author, Kit Chapman, tells Dr Karl about the people behind the unpronounceable names with big atomic numbers at the bottom of the table and the race that is still running. 

Are things getting better, or are we on the decline? In Enlightenment now, Steven Pinker argues that science and reason have made us better than ever before. Emma Stoye, Kit Chapman and Aurora Walshe find out if he hits the mark.

Before the Space Race began there was a chemistry race - the hunt for new elements. The Russians may have organised the periodic table but it was the Americans that began filling in the blanks. These heavy elements could not be found in nature, you had to create them in cyclotrons and reactors. Chemistry World journalist and author, Kit Chapman, tells Dr Karl about the people behind the 20 or so unpronounceable names at the bottom of the table. In this podcast we count up from atomic number 93. Who wrote a personal letter to Stalin urging a soviet atomic program ? What was the Frankenstein-like moment in San Francisco (just before Pearl Harbour) that changed the war? Which superhero prompted the raid on the offices of DC Comics ?

This week Libby Purves is joined by Paul Burns, Kit Chapman, David Cohen and Jane Davis. Paul Burns is a former soldier who survived an IRA bomb at Warren Point in Northern Ireland on 27th August 1979. He went on to become the first disabled member of the elite Red Devils parachute display team, and was a member of "Time and Tide", the first ever disabled crew to sail around the world. His story is featured in the BBC One series My Story. Kit Chapman is the owner of The Castle Hotel in Taunton, Somerset which his family have run since the 1950s. He was born into a long line of glamorous hoteliers: his grandfather Henry Pruger was once General Manager of London's Savoy and responsible for re-establishing the hotel's pre-eminence. His book My Archipelago is published by Mercer Books. David Cohen is a writer and psychologist. When he was twelve he was abandoned by his parents. He knew he'd be put in an orphanage if anyone found out, so he made sure no one did. His book, Home Alone, is published by JR Books. Dr Jane Davis is Director of The Reader Organisation, which she founded in 1997. Whilst working as a teacher at the University of Liverpool she began to develop the read-aloud and personal response model in her classes and she set up the first 'Get Into Reading' group in a small library in Birkenhead in 2001 with young single mums. There are over 230 'Get Into Reading' groups. The book, A Little, Aloud, edited by Angela Macmillan is published by Chatto & Windus.
