A team of Russian and American phycist say that they have created 3 atoms of a new Element. This yet to be named element is the heaviest yet, it has a nucleus of 118 protons and 176. Now to create the three atoms of element 118, the scientists took two whole months bombarding the californium with three billion billion ions.
I thought that this idea of creating 3 mere atoms wasn't so good because the scientists took 2 months. I also thought that it is a waste of money because three billion billion ions probably costs alot.
