How did scientists create atoms of element 115?

In an experiment conducted at the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, Germany, scientists successfully bombarded a thin layer of americium (atomic number 95) with calcium (atomic number 20) to produce ununpentium (atomic number 115).

What are the benefits of super heavy elements?

Superheavy elements allow nuclear physicists to explore concepts such as “magic numbers” and the “island of stability”, which help us understand why some nuclei are more stable than others.

When did they discover element 115 and 113?

On February 2, 2004, scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, in collaboration with researchers from the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Russia (JINR), announced that they discovered two new super-heavy elements, Element 113 and Element 115 .

Which is the first superheavy element in the world?

The first superheavy element is element 113, which has been recently discovered by a collaboration of scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research in Russia. Like some of the heavy elements, superheavy elements are produced artificially in cyclotron experiments.

When did Bob Lazar find out about element 115?

During the time period when Bob Lazar first spoke with George Knapp on Coast to Coast AM under the cover-name “Dennis”, Science had not yet discovered Element 115. Only years later would science catch up with Bob Lazar…

What kind of element is element 115 made out of?

Mysteriously, it seems as if the UFO’s were made out of one single piece, they did not have a welding point and were made from a material unknown on Earth. In addition to ‘Element 115’, scientists introduced 113, 117, and 118. Interestingly, all of these four elements are super heavy, lab-made and VERY radioactive.
