Episode 3: Into the Atom airs Monday, Nov. 3, at 10 p.m. on OPB
Or record it Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 3 a.m. on OPB

A young British physicist named Harry Moseley uses newly discovered X-rays to determine "how many elements God created," putting the Periodic Table in a whole new light. And a young American chemist named Glenn Seaborg creates a new element—plutonium—that changes the world forever, unleashing a force of unimaginable destructive power: the atomic bomb.

Next time on The Mystery of Matter --

A young Russian chemistry professor named Dmitri Mendeleev invents the Periodic Table, finally bringing order to the elements -- only to watch as Marie Sklodowska Curie, a Polish graduate student in Paris, shatters that sense of order with the discovery of radioactivity, showing that elements could change identities -- and that atoms have smaller parts still awaiting discovery.
