“Creation of a new element is an extremely rare feat," says @BerkeleyLab's Jacklyn Gates. "It’s exciting to be a part of the process aimed at making #element120 and to be on such a promising path forward.”

Sorry early birds who read our E120 theory—typos threw Grok3 for a loop & we skipped pressure water, the real juice! Still worth a test, but now the how’s untangled. Reread the chaos at :

Scientists have discovered a new way
of creating #SuperheavyElements,
by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms
This method could potentially help synthesize the hypothetical "#Element120," which would be heavier than any known element.

“When we’re trying to make these incredibly rare elements, we are standing at the absolute edge of human knowledge and understanding, and there is no guarantee that physics will work the way we expect.” - Lab scientist Jenn Pore. #Element120@gizmodogizmodo.com/physicists-just-…
#Element120 would give researchers insight into new electron shells: the g orbitals. “It’s like accessing a whole new part of chemistry,” Lab scientist Jacklyn Gates says. @sciamscientificamerican.com/artic…
Making new elements would let scientists fill in theoretical models of how the atomic nucleus behaves and its limits — such as how many protons and neutrons it can hold. #Element120@Naturenature.com/articles/d41586-0…
“If you want to push above what we currently know on the periodic table, you need to find a new way of making heavy elements,” says Lab scientist Jacklyn Gates. #Element120@ScienceNewssciencenews.org/article/new-…
