In the rarefied world of elemental discovery, where new additions to the periodic table emerge only once in a generation, nuclear chemist Clarice Evone Phelps etched her name into scientific history.

As part of the research team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory of the US Department of Energy, she made history by contributing to the discovery of a new element on the periodic table.

Clarice Evone Phelps discovery, Tennessine (Ts), is a halogen and now sits pretty as the 117th element on the periodic table.
