For the first time, researchers have studied the chemistry of the element hassium, confirming its location on the periodic table.

Hassium, with 108 protons in each atom, is the heaviest element yet to have its chemical properties analyzed. First created in 1984, hassium doesn't exist in nature--it must be made by combining the nuclei of lighter elements.

Suspecting that hassium has properties similar to osmium and other so-called group 8 elements, chemists pla...
