      Scientists confirm superheavy element 114

      http://www.upi.com/Science_News/2009...0501254234045/

      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 researchers said 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
      This was that cult, and the prisoners said it had always existed and always would exist, hidden in distant wastes and dark places all over the world until the time when the great priest Cthulhu, from his dark house in the mighty city of R'lyeh under the waters, should rise and bring the earth again beneath his sway.

      This actually kinda pisses me off. These Russian scientists create this new element 10 fucking years ago...and only NOW can US scientists "confirm" it?

      Anyone read about the Russian scientists experimenting with DNA years ago? Yeah we can shove our Human Genome project up our asses apparently, I'm moving to Russia.

      It is possible that the Russians were, for whatever reason, unable to communicate the results of their experiment, then other scientists cannot reproduce the experiment. If scientists cannot reproduce the experiment to create the alleged results, it doesn't really mean anything.

      Professor Farnsworth said it, can mine be a special brownie?

      I want to see element 118. 114 is cool, but I want to know about the properties of a super-heavy nobel gas.

      Mmm. Oh man, the best thing about special brownies is that when you get the munchies, you can just have brownies and get even higher.

      That makes no sense. How can one pound weight 10K lbs? That's physically impossible. I'm sure you mean that one object that's a 1x1x1in cube weighs one lb, that black matter in a 1x1x1in cube will weigh 10K lbs
