🛸 Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory just pulled off a breakthrough in the hunt for new elements…and it could bring us closer to the elusive “island of stability.” For decades, researchers have used beams of calcium-48 to create the heaviest known elements, like oganesson (118). But that method has hit a dead end: there aren’t enough heavier starting materials like einsteinium or fermium to push further.#ufo #uap #hallucinationhippies #alien #physics
