Element 118 makes a comeback..

the scandals in physics are so tantalizing. Screw the comeback of Rocky Balboa, Element 118 is now back..

Back in 2001, some Berkeley Lab scientists announced "superheavy" elements 118 and 116.

Then, they retracted the statements because the results could not be reproduced.

But a Dubna-Livermore team have confirmed the existence..

It is the heaviest element in the periodic table, has 118 protons and sticks around for a millisecond.. the island of stability is near. I am hyper ventilating..
