Worth Knowing: The Periodic Table of Elements - Past, Present, and Future (#IYPt2019)

This year, the idea of the Periodic Table of Elements is celebrating its 150th anniversary which is recognized all around the world with an international year in its honor announced by the United Nations. What were the events and circumstances leading up to the formation of a successful elementary compilation? This and a whole lot more will be explained in the presentation “The Periodic Table of Elements - Past, Present, and Future (#IYPt2019)”.

Daniel Lundberg is a researcher in inorganic chemistry at SLU and has published peer-reviewed journals covering more than 60 chemical elements. His research covers both the size of the ionic radii for metal ions and their effect on the ions' coordination chemistry, but also more environmentally-focused research which aims to explain in which forms different phosphate ions is released from agricultural lands and thus contribute to eutrophication of nearby waters. Dr. Lundberg's own version of the periodic table of elements on ResearchGate is SLU's most read scientific contribution by far on that social medium platform.
