The elements, discovered by scientists in Japan, Russia and America, are the first to be added to the table since 2011, when elements 114 and 116 were added.
The four were verified on 30 December by the US-based International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, the global organisation that governs chemical nomenclature, terminology and measurement.
IUPAC announced that a Russian-American team of scientists at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California had produced sufficient evidence to claim the discovery of elements 115, 117 and 118.
The body awarded credit for the discovery of element 113, which had also been claimed by the Russians and Americans, to a team of scientists from the Riken institute in Japan.

What you are seeing is spontaneous decay of Gramaticum to the base element of Textium. Slamming two words together results in the contextual imbalances which can no longer be supported in HTML.

Scientists who can tell us how old the universe is, how it was created, all about the expansion, new and exciting earth like planets circling stars 30 light years from here....string theory, yada yada yada..... and they still haven’t discovered all of the elements here on this planet? Okay.....

So, then the elements are created by experiment with the belief that they would exist anyway. Or maybe they exist in great numbers if right the conditions exist, for example: they exist in a super nova, etc.? Or maybe during the formation of a black hole?

But apparently exist outside of the experiment that created them otherwise, I guess then that we couldn’t call them elements.

Maybe they would still be elements — they just wouldn’t be elemental?
