Scientists confirm existence of elusive 117th element

[Desmond]

I can't believe that no one posted about this.

After four years of painstaking research, the discovery of the periodic table's 117th element has been confirmed. Element 117, otherwise known as ununseptium, was originally discovered back in 2010 by a group of American and Russian physicists with the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR). However, it has taken years for the discovery to be replicated by another independent team, which the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) requires. Now the element, with the approval of the IUPAC, can be named and added to the periodic table, extending our understanding of transuranium elements.

The newest instance of element 117 was created by a team at the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research in Germany, whose findings were published in Physical Review Letters. Like the team at the JINR, the group managed to create the element by firing Calcium isotopes at radioactive Berkelium — which is no simple task. "Making element 117 is at the absolute boundary of what is possible right now," Professor David Hinde of the Australian National University told I ****ing Love Science. As with other transuranium elements, ununseptium is highly unstable, and has a brief half life of about 80 milliseconds. However, that's still longer than expected, suggesting that there may be an "island of stability" beyond element 118 where elements have half-lives of hours, days, or even years. With the confirmation of element 117 comes, according the paper's authors,"an important step towards the observation of even more long-lived nuclei of superheavy elements located on an 'island of stability.'"

Well Well Well .... an other thing to be added to the syllabus ! beware upcoming gen !

For those, who want to know how they named this element as ununseptium..

In latin, 'un' means 1 and 'septum' means 7. So for this element with atomic number of 117, they named un(one)-un(one)-septium(7) = 117.

^yea, anyone who studied in plus one knows that..

 

[Flash]

^ Not all the people remember it..

Remembered of discovery of 115 at the day off launch of last map of COD

I hate Chemistry.... But i am reading this, interesting! But anyways, this is practical chemistry. Different from that crap in school!

A little bit of disagreement my Friend.

The School syllabus or the method of teaching might be crap,but not the elementary knowledge we gather from books in School.

This crap (as so referred by you) is the foundational base for todays' 117th element in the periodic table.

But this is not necessary for everyone then why do indian parents believe that every child should be an IITian or a Doctor ? ... everyone doesn't want to be a chemist ! searching about the 118th element !

That is standard IUPAC nomenclature.

^ These are the systematic (temporary) names assigned by IUPAC, until it gets the permanent name.

 

[doomgiver]

why isnt the element named Master Chief?

 

[Flash]

^ He is busy with Cortana

That is the way we are being brought up in a so called SLAVE SOCIETY ,where we are only satisfied with our jobs(not everybody like their particular ones),bank balance(not everyone has a hefty balance),prospering life(a lot of luck factor goes along with your hard work)...
We are not made to think in a unique elementary way since childhood, that is the system crap which were being loaded onto us FORCIBLY.

Our way of thinking and work only goes by the system of colonialism,where you are made to think,do,function like a zombie clerk AT ANY LEVEL. No matter what your position is up in the Hierarchical level in jobs at Govt./Semi Govt./Private sectors. No matter how better you earn than others. Where is the so called INNOVATION? INNOVATIVE IDEAS within our jobs?

We are mere copycats in the world of Technology.

That is the reason why: Bill Gates,Steve Jobbs,Mark Zuckerberg,Jan Koum + Brian Acton(WhatsApp founders),Kevin Systrom + Mike Krieger(Instagram Founders),...and the LEGENDS ---> Larry Page + Sergey Brin(Google) does not belong to this Hopeless Country,which we all love within.

Remember : Mr. Satya Nadella, Mr. Rajeev Suri, Ms. Indra Nooyi ,etc...the yesteryears children of our country, may make us proud or for themselves,but they are HIRED only by the respective companies. They are not the FOUNDERS.

Lets not forget that some of these guys were dropouts. Therefore, education isn't really a factor.

The real factor is OPPORTUNITIES !, very rare in INDIA.

The real factor is OPPORTUNITIES !, very rare in INDIA.

its not like USA is a paradise..

their laws are just damn strict ..

just go slightly over speed , you get a speeding ticket right there and then and you become a criminal and Big companies will have trouble hiring you because you have a criminal record

more than half of their population is incarcerated

download a song/movie from torrent get jailed

if your dog shits on road and you don't pick up the dog's **** with your hand and throw it away get jailed for 2 years

even pissing in a public place( which is so famous in india ) will also earn you jail time

smoke a drug ( which is a very normal thing there ) get jailed even for few hours or a simple fine and your life is screwed you won't get a job anywhere..

and then people carry guns in their pockets .. so one has to be extra careful

and some things like these

*www.phonearena.com/news/Kid-uses-A...nds-up-busted-for-illegal-wiretapping_id55140

then majority people are always in debt all the time.. starting a business there is just a dream..
most Americans dream is only to get out of debt ..

But yeah 20-30 $ earnings per hour as a Plumber/Repairmen is Awesome.. afterall they are a developed country and plus you get to be whatever you want to be ..

eg - a Videogamer, ( indians can only dream )

plus if you are a waiter , janitor , taxi driver you are not looked down upon like you do in india

That is the whole point of discussion.
They don't have unnecessary,illogical vanities and egos.

In AMERICA work is worship...
