Scientists confirm superheavy element 114

BERKELEY, Calif., Sept. 29 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists
say they have confirmed the production of the superheavy element 114, 10 years after a Russian group first claimed to have made it.
The researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, led by University of California-Berkeley Professor Heino Nitsche and and Berekely Lab senior staff scientist Ken Gregorich, independently confirmed the production of the new element, which was first published by the Dubna Gas Filled Recoil Separator group.
Using an instrument called the Berkeley Gas-filled Separator at Berkeley Lab's 88-Inch Cyclotron, the researcherssaid they were able to confirm the creation of two individual nuclei of element 114, each a separate isotope having 114 protons, but a different numbers of neutrons, and each decaying by a separate pathway.
"By verifying the production of element 114, we have removed any doubts about the validity of the Dubna group's claims," Nitsche said. "This proves that the most interesting superheavy elements can in fact be made in the laboratory."
The verification of element 114 is reported in the journal Physical Review Letters.
"People have been dreaming of superheavy elements since the 1960s," Gregorich added. "But it's unusual for important results like the Dubna group's claim to have produced 114 to go unconfirmed for so long. Scientists were beginning to wonder if superheavy elements were real."

Im pretty thick and to lazy to look into this lol, can someone give me this in lamen's terms please lol!

Hey Morty. It's a big deal because there are elements out there that have yet to be identified or created outside of the periodic chart of elements.



And to the UFO buffs it's particularly intriguing given the old Bob Lazar story claiming he worked on recovered alien craft that was powered by the next element up - 115! Read more here: http://www.gravitywarpdrive.com/Element_115.htm

Thankyou VR Don , had a read and very interesting indeed!, thankyou for your time for replying and sorting the link out!, last time i looked at a periodic table was at school!!! makes me feel old and im only 24!!!!!!!

Next stop: 115

Bob Lazar could be right! ()
