His legacy endures through ongoing research from "summary" of Mendeleyev's Dream by Paul Strathern
Mendeleyev’s legacy has not been consigned to the history books, but rather lives on through the ongoing research that continues to explore and expand upon his groundbreaking work. The impact of his periodic table has reverberated through the years, shaping the way we understand the fundamental building blocks of the universe. Scientists today still draw inspiration from Mendeleyev’s dream of organizing the elements in a systematic way, a dream that has been realized in the form of the periodic table that bears his name. This enduring legacy serves as a testament to the power of human curiosity and ingenuity in unraveling the mysteries of the natural world. The periodic table remains a cornerstone of modern chemistry, guiding researchers in their quest to discover new elements and understand the properties of existing ones. ...
