Everywhere in the universe, the periodic table has the same basic structure. Even if an alien civilization's table weren't plotted out in the castle-with-turrets shape we humans favor, their spiral or pyramidal or whatever-shaped periodic table would naturally pause after 118 elements.

For most people, chemotherapy is no longer the chamber of horrors we often conceive it to be. Yes, it is an ordeal for some people, but it wasn't for me, nor for most of the patients I got to know during my four months of periodic visits to the chemo suite.

After a few years of intensive research, we found a way to use a pulsed laser directed into a nozzle to vaporize any material, allowing for the first time the atoms of any element in the periodic table to be produced cold in a supersonic beam.

I think generally, in life, I try to always ensure that there are periodic moments where I do venture out of my comfort zone, because that's what keeps you alive. That's what keeps you from getting stale.

There are six components of wellness: proper weight and diet, proper exercise, breaking the smoking habit, control of alcohol, stress management and periodic exams.

I still have a vivid memory of my excitement when I first saw a chart of the periodic table of elements. The order in the universe seemed miraculous.

I'm a science geek. I even have a T-shirt with a glow-in-the-dark chart of the periodic elements.

The squares of the periodic times are to each other as the cubes of the mean distances.

Periodic fasting can help clear up the mind and strengthen the body and the spirit.

American Leader

Periodic means events occurring on a planned and consistent schedule.

Scheduled Repetition

Periodic suggests breaks between occurrences, not happening without interruption.

Not Continuous

When something is periodic, you can predict when it will happen again.

Expect predictability

In a scientific context, periodic refers to regular, repeating patterns in time or space.

Scientific Usage

The word periodic is frequently used in scholarly and educational texts.

Academic Tone

Periodic implies temporary interruptions in a sequence or activity.

Disruptions Implied

The intervals between periodic events may vary and are not always equal.

Irregular Intervals

When used negatively, periodic can imply repeated issues or failures.

 with an array of advanced instruments. A spectrometer will analyze the gamma rays and neutrons produced when Psyche is struck by cosmic rays. Each element in the periodic table releases gamma rays of specific wavelengths, so these measurements will tell us what elements are found on the surface.
