What is the point of these minerals?
Regards,
“Herd, who also heads up the university’s meteorite collection, said if researchers were to obtain more samples from the massive meteorite, there’s a chance that even more elements might be discovered.”
I’m sure he did not say that. This science writer fails basic chemistry.
Wait, don’t tell me, they’re millions of years old...
Any qualities of these new minerals would be appreciated. Radioactivity, strength, weight etc?

“...However, in this case, the two minerals identified had been synthetically created before, so the researchers could match their compositions quickly to confirm their discovery...”
Hmmmm....
What elements are presend??
That would be a true excitement I reckon if you were in that field...
We know already.

Where are these ‘new’ elements found on the Periodic Table?
