U.S. scientists create superheavy element livermorium using a titanium beam

Summary

Nutrition label

76% Informative

Livermorium was first synthesized back in 2000 , and it's not the heaviest element humans have created.

Scientists hope to create an element that will be the heaviest ever produced: unbinilium, with 120 protons.

It took 22 days of operations at Berkeley Lab's 88-inch cyclotron, which accelerates the heavy ions of titanium into a beam powerful enough to fuse with its target.
