Bohrium is highly radioactive and cannot be displayed in our Interactive Periodic Table. Instead, come down and check out these postal stamps from 1967 which display Niels Bohr and his Bohr Model.

Did you know the chemical element Bohrium (atomic number 107) is named after Danish physicist Niels Bohr?

What do you want to know?.

But the kind folks at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, who were involved in making element 116 and for which the element was named, sent us a nice mug and pin to be displayed instead! As good as it gets! Thank you LLNL! @Livermore_Lab.

Samples of Livermorium - like most other artificial elements - cannot be displayed: Perhaps only few atoms were ever made, and those that were made, are very short-lived and underwent rapid radioactive decay.

The New Periodic Table is not finished yet! We have new additions arriving everyday for a variety of amazing elements. Stop by periodically to see the progress! #uconnchem

(Anything you like to contribute, please reach out to Christian Brueckner). All of this will happen in early October when the touch display systems and large screens that go with the periodic table will be installed. In the meantime, come and enjoy! (2).

The periodic table cabinet is up and filled. What is next? Errors need to be corrected (anyone finding one?), some items rearranged so not to be blocked by the engravings on the cover slide, some late additions will be added. (1)

The Interactive Periodic Table has taken a lot of time and effort over the last few months. We are excited to announce it is finally available for viewing on the Second Floor Atrium Wall. #uconnchem

Diamonds are the most common stone found in engagement/wedding rings. However, there is another precious stone that looks just as beautiful and is 20 times rarer than the diamond, the Green Emerald. Check it out soon in the incoming Periodic Table. #uconnchem

Now engaged in fly fishing not using these sinkers, they have a new purpose: To illustrate one use of the element lead in our daily lives. #uconnchem (2).

Our periodic table display will also feature items from the labs and lives of our faculty. Like these decades-old lead fishing sinkers out of Prof. Jim Rusling’s tackle box. (1)

This ancient noble tin warrior gets ready for battle, just as we are getting ready for the setup of our new Interactive Periodic Table coming soon. #uconnchem

RT @GasconLab: The @NSF REU programs represent a celebration of undergraduate research at @UConn. Extremely proud of this group. Great work….

Stop by the Department in September when the Interactive Periodic Table is finished to get a "nickel tour" of all of the elements. #uconnchem

Our next elemental preview features a variety of distinguishable pieces. What does this collection of items spell? Both pictures are alternative spellings. #uconnchem

This stack of red oak boards will become a refined periodic table display cabinet. The craftsmen are working on it. Stay tuned. #uconnchem

4) The display will be complemented with interactive touch displays and an advanced lighting system. We are excited. Stay tuned, we will report updates.

3) hundreds of samples of the elements, most oxides and chlorides, many other iconic compounds, minerals, and a multitude of items of daily life that are connected to the elements will be installed in the latter half of August.

2) The oddly located power outlets hint that this is not an ordinary empty wall. But who needs a plug 6 feet up the wall? Something is going on. Indeed, something is: After years of planning, the installation of a large periodic table of elements display containing:.

1) This wall on the second floor atrium is empty. Why do we show an empty wall, you ask?
