With a half life of 1 second, it won’t be around very long ...

Thanks for that detail. The quest for heavy element stability continues.

Actually, one second is fairly long for atoms in this mass range. That give hope that the theorized “island of stability” in even heavier atoms is real.

The new atoms could have useful properties in manipulating the strong and weak nuclear forces, and maybe even gravity.
