QuoteScience's ever-growing body of chemical knowledge grew even bigger Tuesday when element 115 was discovered by scientists at Sweden's Lund University.
Though led by physicists at Lund, the team that made the discovery was international, a statement from the university says. The experiment that led to the super-heavy, element's discovery was conducted at the GSI research facility in Germany. The experiment built on the findings of an earlier Russian study, the results of which were published in 2006.
Element number 115, which will receive an official name from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) once the committee reviews the findings and decides whether more experiments are needed before acknowledging the element's official discovery. Until that official designation arrives, the element will be called ununpentium (latin for 1-1-5 plus the common "ium" ending for elements).
Nice find Amy,
I was thinking that it had already been confirmed as being discovered back in 2003..
after Bob Lazar referred to it...
But it seemed that it had not been confirmed official..see below..
So I wonder what may become of it now its official !
They say only Elements under Atomic number of 100 have been ok for practical use.....Maybe they need to speak with Bob again ! :)
Ununpentium is the temporary name of a synthetic superheavy element in the periodic table that has the temporary symbol Uup and has the atomic number 115.
It is placed as a heavier homologue to bismuth and the heaviest member of group 15 (VA). It was first observed in 2003 and about 50 atoms of ununpentium have been synthesized to date, with about 25 direct decays of the parent element having been detected. Four consecutive isotopes are currently known, 287–290Uup, with 289Uup having the longest measured half-life of ~200 ms.[3] On August 27, 2013, researchers at GSI from Lund University in Sweden reported confirming the existence of the element.[4][5]

oh the irony.on one thread we are trying to destroy radioactive particles and on this thread we are celebrating one.lets hope 115brings hope.
Indeed, robo. But at least the quantity of 115 is not a threat to Humanity and the planet.
Element 115 has been official for a long time now...
Look up under UnUnPentium its current name. I also posted the news in the Bob Lazar area
Radiation and radioactivity is not the issue. Without it we would have no life on this planet. Do not forget that the SUN is a nuclear reactor comverting hydrogen to helium with nuclear fusion.
Fukushima is a different animal :D
Actually was just about to make a post :D
