Google adds interactive periodic table of chemistry to search results

(It's not yet widely rolled out by Google, so it's possible that some users won't see the new periodic table when searching.)

You can also access Google's periodic table directly using the link here.

Even non-geeks can find interesting things with Google's periodic table. You can click on different elements to learn about things like the element's atomic mass, melting point. The most attractive feature is viewing 3D models of each element.

Each element is also displayed with a short, interesting information surrounding it.

The interactive periodic table is rolling out along with some new family-powered features for the Google Assistant. Among them is an update to the Family Bell reminder feature.

When it was launched last year, Family Bell could play through a monitor or a Nest smart speaker. However, the next few weeks it may also ring on mobile devices.

Google is also adding a way for you to set up a schedule after you turn off your alarm each morning. For example, allows you to check the weather and news as soon as you wake up. This feature will also be released soon.
