Ytterby: The Swedish Village That Completed the Periodic Table

Throughout history, scientists have made great discoveries in laboratories, universities, and research institutions.

However, some of chemistry’s most important discoveries can be traced to a single rock quarry in a small Swedish village.

Over more than a century, scientists studying minerals from this one quarry identified a remarkable number of previously unknown elements. Without this one quarry, our knowledge of the Periodic Table would be incomplete.

Learn more about Ytterby, the village that helped fill the periodic table, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
