Periodic Table of Elements

The periodic table, reimagined.

For more than three decades, Los Alamos National Laboratory’s interactive periodic table—the first of its kind on the internet— has helped people explore and understand the elements.

Today’s redesign continues the Laboratory’s tradition of innovation with a new mobile-friendly approach that preserves periodicity and ordering of the table while automatically adapting to the width of a computer, tablet, or phone—no pinching, zooming, or rotating required.

Get started with the Lab’s new Periodic Table

Explore the Laboratory’s periodic table to discover the elements and learn more about their history, properties, and even how we use them to support scientific discovery and national security at Los Alamos.

  • Click any Element  to view its dashboard.
  • In the dashboard, tap "Stats" to preview an elements properties or click "@LANL" to see how we use an element at Los Alamos.
  • Select a Group or Electron Configuration to reveal the patterns that tie the table together.
  • Hit “Explore Element” to uncover fascinating histories, fun facts, and unique properties of each element.

Powered By Plutonium

To have the kind of dependable power needed to explore the sub-zero temperatures of Mars, the rover needs a nuclear battery that uses heat from the natural radioactive decay of plutonium-238 to generate electricity as a kind of fuel.

Light excites a manganese-doped quantum dot, triggering ultrafast spin exchange that transfers hot-exciton energy to an embeded manganese ion. The excited ion then undergoes spin-flip relaxation, driving a reduction reaction.
