The new elements have been temporarily named ununtrium (Uut or element 113), ununpentium (Uup, element 115), ununseptium (Uus, element 117), and ununoctium (Uuo, element 118). In the next few ...

There, those boxes were filled with obscure element symbols such as Uut ... that simply stood in for the atomic numbers: Uut for ununtrium, which just means 1-1-3-ium, Uuq for ununquadium ...

The elements were first synthesised between 2002 and 2010 and were temporarily named ununtrium, ununpentium, ununseptium, and ununoctium. By December 2015, IUPAC recognised their discovery and allowed ...

The element, No. 113 on the Periodic Table of Elements, had previously been designated ununtrium, a placeholder name that means one-one-three in Latin. In November 2016, the International Union of ...

IUPAC decided to let the names stand, and unwieldy placeholder names — ununtrium, ununpentium, ununseptium and ununoctium — assigned when the elements were added to the periodic table in ...

Ollie Barder covers Japanese pop-culture and gaming from Tokyo. After a five month public review, the chemical element Ununtrium with the atomic number of 113 will be re-named “nihonium” due ...

radioactive elements were actually added to the periodic table late last year and given these temporary and unremarkable names: ununtrium, ununpentium, ununseptium and ununoctoium. But the IUPAC ...

which complete the Periodic Table up to and including element 118. Until now, this quartet have been known by their atomic numbers of 113, 115, 117 and 118 – or the temporary names of ununtrium ...

They aren't substances you'd recognize. In fact, you'll probably never, ever see the newly named elements in real life. They were created in high-tech labs by scientists hurling smaller atoms at ...

Element 113, previously known by its placeholder name of ununtrium, is now nihonium (Nh). The element derives its name from “nihon,” one of two words used to say “Japan” in Japanese.

with elements 113, 115, 117, and 118 rounding out the seventh row. At the time, they all had temporary names and symbols - ununtrium (Uut), ununpentium (Uup), ununseptium (Uus), and ununoctium (Uuo) - ...

Until now, they'd been known by the Latin words for their atomic numbers: ununtrium, ununpentium, ununseptium and ununoctium. Elements can be named for a mythological concept or character ...
