Question: Has a scientist made a brand new postion or chemical. And why?

  1. Scientists aren’t just making new chemicals, they are creating new ELEMENTS! Well, they are technically detecting them. Physicists want to continue to understand as much as they can about our universe, so they smash particles together in massive particle accelerators in the hope to learn more about the big bang and about new elements.

  2. My old boss, Tony Haymet “imagined” (theorized) about an arrangement of carbon atoms in what he called footballene, as it looked like a footbal. . A few years later with the help of extreme temperature and pressure a carbon molecule containing 60 carbon atoms was created (by some other scientists) that was the exact match for his theoretical molecule.

  3. Blaire is right…

    We are also looking for new chemicals, the Museum where I work goes out to the reef and collects marine sponges (Porifera). these animals produce weird chemical to stop other animals eating them or growing on them. The museum identifies the sponge and sends it to a cancer research facility where the scientist there collect the chemicals to see if they might be a cure for cancer and other diseases.
