Revamping The Periodic Table?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the things-i-only-barely-understand-in-the-first-place dept.

vinohradska writes "There is an interesting article on the periodic table over at Slate: 'Oxford ecologist Philip Stewart has designed a new periodic table of the elements, and it's a hit. American schools are placing orders daily for Stewart's table, and the Royal Society of Chemists recently sent a copy to every British secondary school. Stewart's is the only remake to achieve widespread adoption since Dmitri Mendeleev invented the original periodic table in a fit of brilliance in 1869.' "

    Mrs. Krabappel: Correct. I would also have accepted "snacktacular."
