From across the sea, they came by the thousands, escaping war and poverty in southern China to seek their fortunes in America. Converging on the enormous western worksite of the Transcontinental Railroad, the migrants spent years dynamiting tunnels through the snow-packed cliffs of the Sierra Nevada and laying tracks across the burning Utah desert.

But those of them who survived this perilous effort would be pushed to the margins of American life and then to the fringes of public memory.

On January 25, 1917, HMS Laurentic struck two German mines off the coast of Ireland and sank. The ship was carrying 44 tons of gold bullion to the still-neutral United States via Canada in order to finance the war effort for Britain and its allies.

Lieutenant Commander Guybon Damant was the most qualified officer to head the risky mission.

The iconic periodic table of the elements is now in its most satisfyingly elegant form. This is because all the "gaps" corresponding to missing elements in the seventh row, or period, have recently been filled and the elements named. But where do these names come from?

Here, Peter Wothers explores the fascinating and often surprising stories behind how the chemical elements received their names.

Reed shares this history to inform the path toward an alternative future.
