SAN JOSE, Calif. _ Two new guests may soon take a seat at chemistry's periodic table, introduced Sunday to the world by a team of scientists in Livermore and Russia.
You won't encounter these new elements in your everyday life. They're man-made, not found in nature. Their lives are briefer than the blink of an eye. They're very rare; only four atoms of each have been created. And their usefulness to society remains a question mark.
