From the article:

Could a superheavy element be a lead alternative?

A few sentences later:

the best-suited isotope exists for only about 20 hundredths of a second

And that's the problem with every superheavy element so far synthesized. Half life measured in milliseconds, and even enormous expensive equipment produces only a handful of atoms. Interesting stuff, but industrial application will be elusive at least until the "island of stability" is reached.

These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard
And there may be many others, but they haven’t been discovered

That really needs to be the official name of some synthetic superheavy element ...

https://dullmensclub.com/governmentiumnewly-discovered-chemical-element/

A major research institution (MRI) has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest chemical element yet known to science. The new element has been tentatively named “governmentium,” symbol “GV” on the updated Periodic Chart.”

Governmentium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.

Since governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of governmentium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would normally take less than a second.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of three years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause some morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

The characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to speculate that governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as Critical Morass.

Thanks Red Badger. Venus Flytrap explains the atom (WKRP)

Further, a nihonium/cobalt alloy when added to mild steel increases the yield strength by as much as 140% and is almost totally impervious to surface oxidation.

Shouldn’t element 115 be named Lazarium??

Relativistic effects of the electrons in super heavy elements.

Could this be the reason for the end of the naturally occuring elements?

Does this make the existance of an "island of stability" unlikely, even impossible?

When I first started studying chemistry, they had just discovered the 103rd element, Lawrencium.

I was thinking more towards Lazmatazium.

Where they finally discover this table? A thrift shop? An archaeological dig?
