The Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility has the ability to create and analyze isotopes that exist for just a few seconds.

The charging chains of the Holifield facility are used to produce the 25 million volt potential at the terminal of the Holifield accelerator.

ORNL's Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility

I love that place. Great hotwings.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Thanks decimon!

Interesting.

The 40-second half-life would make it difficult to work with; but I find myself wondering what would happen in a fullerene that enclosed such an atom. {Encapsulating radioactive atoms with Carbon fullerenes has been proposed as a method to reduce their impact on the environment and make radioactive wastes easier to handle.} Would the enclosing carbon-bonds work to “hold the Tin together” for more than the 40 seconds, or would the Tin despise being bound and decay anyway?

(I’m a Computer Science guy, not a Chemist so I have no idea what would actually happen.)
