The heaviest known element has made a brief, though substantial, appearance in a German laboratory.

Researchers at GSI, the center for heavy ion research in Darmstadt, reported evidence last week of an isotope of element 110, with an atomic mass of 269. The atomic number indicates the number of protons in the atom, while its mass reveals the number of protons and neutrons.

The international team of scientists, led by GSI physicist Peter Armbruster, produced the element by bombarding an isotope of lead with nickel atoms. The two fused, producing an unstable, intermediate ...
