Superheavy elements are synthesized in nuclear accelerators one atom at a time, and have half-lives measured in milliseconds

Unless, of course, they reside in the Island of Stability.

Unless, of course, they reside in the Island of Stability.

That is an interesting theory. Whether it exists or not remains to be seen.

Can they get voted off the island?
Maybe they should form alliances with other elements

A good short presentation of the Island of Instability is
PBS Space Time: Are there Undiscovered Elements Beyond The Periodic Table?

and here is Martyn Poliakoff at Periodic Videos describing Element 120 - Periodic Table of Videos and the procedure to make it (Note this is from 2011 !) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1rYuslEQLs

This is as well worth the time Superheavy Elements: The End of the Periodic Table: Ken Moody, Chief Scientist for Radiochemistry, explains that recent discoveries of new elements have extended the periodic table beyond what was thought was possible, and demonstrates the existence of a collection of Superheavy Elements with unusual nuclear properties at the limits of stability.
