Scientific progress owes much to his insights from "summary" of Mendeleyev's Dream by Paul Strathern
Mendeleyev's revolutionary periodic table of the elements, with its gaps that correctly predicted the existence of yet-to-be-discovered elements, was a landmark achievement in the history of science. His insights into the nature of chemical elements and their relationships paved the way for countless discoveries and advancements in the field of chemistry. By organizing the known elements based on their atomic weights and properties, Mendeleyev provided a framework that allowed scientists to understand and predict the behavior of elements in a systematic way. This opened up new avenues for research and experimentation, leading to the development of new materials and technologies that have transformed the world we live ...
