Moscovium (115 Mc) is a synthetic element, and thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given. Like all synthetic elements, it has no known stable isotopes. The first isotope to be synthesized was 288 Mc in 2004. There are five known radioisotopes from 286 Mc to 290 Mc. The longest-lived isotope is 290 Mc with a half-life of 0.65 seconds.
In his later years, Ghiorso continued research toward finding superheavy elements, fusion energy, and innovative electron beam sources. He was a non-participating co-author of the experiments in 1999 that gave evidence of elements 116 and 118, which later turned out to be a case of scientific fraud perpetrated by the first author, Victor Ninov .
Einsteinium and fermium were discovered by a team of scientists led by Albert Ghiorso in 1952 while studying the composition of radioactive debris from the detonation of the first hydrogen bomb. [19] The isotopes synthesized were einsteinium-253, with a half-life of 20.5 days, and fermium-255 , with a half-life of about 20 hours.
The year 2003 was an exciting one for new scientific discoveries and technological breakthroughs progress in many scientific fields. Some of the highlights of 2003, which will be further discussed below, include: the anthropologic discovery of 350,000-year-old footprints attesting to the presence of upright-walking humans; SpaceShipOne flight 11P making its first supersonic flight; the ...

It was apparently discovered by the fictional Thomas Kyle, who was awarded an Ig Nobel Prize for physics for his discovery, [10] and it is a parody on bureaucracy of scientific establishments and on descriptions of newly discovered chemical elements. Administrontium Scientific in-joke: Similar to Administratium and a variation of the joke. It ...
Yuri Tsolakovich Oganessian [a] (born 14 April 1933) is an Armenian and Russian nuclear physicist who is best known as a researcher of superheavy chemical elements. [7] He has led the discovery of multiple elements of the periodic table.
