The production of an element that has already been seen in three different laboratories would not normally be newsworthy. However, confirmation that element 110 can be made in collisions between lead ...

This article was updated Friday 11/4 6:00pm. The periodic table of elements just got a bit heftier today (Nov. 4), as the names of three new elements were approved by the General Assembly of the ...

At the 42nd General Assembly in Ottawa, Canada, the IUPAC Council officially approved the name for element of atomic number 110, to be known as darmstadtium, with symbol Ds. At the 42nd General ...

Chemists meet in Ottawa to vote on 'darmstadtium'. You have full access to this article via your institution. Chemical element 110, which was discovered in 1994, will finally get a name tomorrow. A ...

Elements that do not exist in nature—that have been created in a laboratory—are unstable. After hours or days of one element bombarding another with enough energy for both to fuse, the resulting new ...

The team at GSI had already successfully synthesized elements 107 (bohrium), 108 (hassium) and 109 (meitnerium) in 1981, 1984 and 1982, respectively. Ten years had elapsed, during which the group had ...
