When the seventh row of the periodic table of elements was completed in June 2016 with the addition of four final elements—nihonium, moscovium, tennessine, and oganesson—we at last could identify all the ingredients necessary to construct our world.In Elemental, chemist and science educator Tim James provides an informative, entertaining, and quirkily illustrated guide to the table that shows clearly how this abstract and seemingly jumbled graphic is relevant to our day-to-day lives.James tells the story of the periodic table from its ancient Greek roots, when you could count the number of elements humans were aware of on one hand, to the modern alchemists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries who have used nuclear chemistry and physics to generate new elements and complete the periodic table. In addition to this, he answers questions such as: What is the chemical symbol for a human? What would happen if all of the elements were mixed together? Which liquid can teleport through walls? Why is the medieval dream of transmuting lead into gold now a reality?Whether you're studying the periodic table for the first time or are simply interested in the fundamental building blocks of the universe—from the core of the sun to the networks in your brain—Elemental is the perfect guide.

    Structured around a plane journey that sees encounters with substances from water and glue to coffee and wine, Liquid Rules shows how these liquids can bring death and destruction as well as wonder and fascination.From László Bíró's revolutionary pen and Abraham Gesner's kerosene to cutting-edge research on self-repairing roads and liquid computers, Miodownik uses his winning formula of scientific storytelling to bring the everyday to life. He reveals why liquids can flow up a tree but down a hill, why oil is sticky, how waves can travel so far, and how to make the perfect cup of tea. Here are the secret lives of substances.

    A protective alpha. An irresistible attraction. Alpha Captain Zane Mayfield commands the special forces Delta Squad. He’s wanted Specialist Aden Chandler since the man was assigned to his squad. The only issue is Aden is an alpha. When an op goes sideways, Zane’s alpha instincts take over. All he cares about is keeping the snarky flirt of a sniper safe. Specialist Aden Chandler lied about his omega status when he enlisted. He has his dream job in the special forces and he’ll do what it takes to keep his dream alive, even if it means illegal suppressants and denying his need for his Captain. But an op gone wrong changes everything and threatens to ruin both his and Captain Mayfield’s military career. Will Captain Mayfield choose duty over love? Or will Aden be proven once again that alphas can’t be trusted? Operation Omega: Protecting the Omega is his mission. Falling in love is a whole different battle. Sergeant First Class Kali Morris is the communications specialist for special forces Delta Squad. He's the love-em-and-leave-em type of alpha. Kali finds his latest conquest the night before a mission, except he’s attracted to this omega more than he ever thought possible. Sergeant Thomas Carter is an intelligent Omega, specializing in dead languages. He never expected to leave a base when he enlisted, preferring a desk job to running through the desert. Alone, Thomas goes to a local bar to fight off his nerves and falls for the tempting alpha. But when it turns out Sergeant Kali will be with him on the mission--Thomas’ heart is in as much danger as his life is. Alpha Kali's duty is to complete the mission but his nature is to protect the Omega he's claimed. Together, these men come together in a sizzling dance under the desert sky, but they must battle their instincts to fulfill their duties. And when those duties come before their hearts, they must face the battle for their love together. An Omega in pain. An Alpha with the ability to heal. Staff Sergeant Rory Shipmond saves lives. It’s his job in Delta Squad. When Delta Squad rescues an American base from hostiles, he saves an omega who has been hurt more than Rory could ever imagine. Damien Raoult learned early he can’t trust alphas as a rich Omega. His tech business attracts all type of attention and Damien claims to be bonded to his business. Damien is visiting an American military base in Hong Kong, a base that the U.S.A. doesn’t admit exists, when it’s attacked by a gang in efforts to steal his weapon technology. When the medical officer asks Damien if he’s okay, Damien wants to open up more than he has before. But, he can’t risk the pain, even if his Omega instincts tell him Staff Sergeant Shipmond is his Alpha. Rory is determined to heal this Omega, not because it’s his duty, but because it’s his desire. He will win Damien’s trust and his heart, one way or another. An M/M Omegaverse Mpreg Romance

    But she was a flame and I was a stupid ass moth. Everything about her made me want to get burned again and again. She was amazing and dangerous but I couldn’t let lust lead me forever. Then I found her. But this wasn’t a moth getting burned by a flame. This was tangible. Her light didn’t burn. It sustained. I’d do anything for her love… I’d even grow the hell up. I would walk through fire for her I’d shout it from the rooftops. But I had to be careful not to shout too loud because shouting from the rooftops that you were in love with one of your students came with serious consequences.

    His work explores diverse materials including ceramics, glass, bronze, jesmonite, sound and video. His interest lies inthe intersections between the physical and the immaterial and the historical and the cutting-edge. He references classical imagery, adopts digital aesthetics and uses leading technologies. For one body of work, Eastwood-Bloom used 3D software to scan busts from the British Museum and the Royal Academy of Arts, which he digitally manipulated before 3D printing and casting into clay, the process transitioning from the physical through the digital and resulting back in the physical.Eastwood-Bloom has produced a public commission for the London o ce of Marex Spectron and is currently working on a commission for Aviva Investors in collaboration with Campbell Architects to create a work that will be integrated into the fac¸ade and interior of a new building in Hanover Square.is catalogue was published by Pangolin London to coincide with their exhibition of Eastwood-Bloom’s works in autumn 2017. It regroups many of his works and is introduced by Mark Miodownik.

    But it is a most interesting story which deserves to be known also to historians, philosophers, and sociologists of science and indeed to the general public. This is what the present work aims at. It tells the story or rather parts of the story, of how physicists and chemists created elements heavier than uranium or searched for them in nature. And it does so with an emphasis on the frequent discovery and naming disputes concerning the synthesis of very heavy elements. Moreover, it calls attention to the criteria which scientists have adopted for what it means to have discovered a new element. In this branch of modern science it may be more appropriate to speak of creation instead of discovery. The work will be of interest to scientists as well as to scholars studying modern science from a meta-perspective.
