Into the book
The periodic table began around 1810 when Swedish chemist Berzelius measured the atomic weights (masses of atoms) of elements.
In 1864, British chemist Newlands noticed that when elements were listed in order of atomic weight, every eighth element had similar properties.
--- From "04 What is the periodic table? ① Why was it created?"
First, lithium-ion batteries, which are small, light, and large-capacity power sources used in smartphones, are made of metallic elements such as lithium and cobalt.
Capacitors, which are components that store or release electricity, use a metal element called tantalum.
Tantalum was first used in the filament of incandescent light bulbs, and because capacitors using tantalum can be made smaller and lighter, it has become an indispensable element in recent mobile devices.
--- From "19 What elements are smartphones made of?"
For example, if the amount of carbon 14 present in a living plant is 1, the amount will be reduced by half after 5730 years.
The time it takes for the amount of a radioactive isotope to be reduced by half is called the half-life.
By using half-life to determine the ratio of carbon 14 to carbon 12 in plant fossils, we can estimate the age of the plant, or how much time has passed since its death.
--- From "26 How can we know that a fossil is from 10,000 years ago?"
Lithium is an element suitable for use in batteries because it easily releases electrons.
Lithium-ion batteries (pictured on the right), which are rechargeable secondary batteries, are used as batteries for smartphones, laptops, electric vehicles, etc.
It can be said that it is an element that is truly used in modern necessities.
Researchers including Dr. Akira Yoshino, who invented the lithium-ion battery in 1985, received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
--- From "32 Lithium: The Element That Completely Changed Modern Life?"
Iridium is rarely found in the Earth's crust or mantle, but is abundant in meteorites.
Such iridium was discovered in large quantities in a layer corresponding to the boundary between the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era and the Paleogene period of the Cenozoic era (K-Pg boundary).

Publisher's Review
I understand, thinking, 'I see!'
Stories of the elements around us
We are surrounded by elements.
Our bodies are also made up of elements, with oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen making up 96% of our bodies, and various other elements making up the remainder.
Therefore, in order to understand the principles of things around you, it is important to know about the elements.
Knowing the elements will make more sense and make things easier to understand.
I hope that through this book, each day becomes more enjoyable.
This book consists of three chapters.
“Chapter 1: Basic Information on Elements and Various Curious Stories” explains exactly what elements are.
Let's learn more about elements, from the periodic table to examples of how elements are used in everyday life.
In Chapter 2, “Stories of Elements Around Us That Make You Say ‘Oh, That’s Right!’”, we introduce the elements that are currently used in our lives and the elements that are expected to be active in the future among the 118 elements that make up all matter, including humans.
In Chapter 3, “Element Stories You’ll Want to Talk About Even Tomorrow,” we explore various aspects of elements that you’ll want to talk about with anyone, from the origins of element names, ions, and artificial intelligence to the history of alchemy.
