No, the next element should be discovered at the Hartouni-tron, an accelerator scrounged from bits and pieces found by dumpster diving at CERN and Fermilab.

It was going to be called "510odubdinum" but oddly, it was found, moments before the christening, that name was already taken.

hey ED, we built a bunch of fusion transformers for LLL back in the 70's,
are they still in the back yard? Aydin Radar, big brown tanks, 12 transformers and 12 rectifier stacks, switched on for 1/12 duty cycle or some weird sh#t,

About fifteen years ago, the Cal Alumni Association had a poll for the name for the next element discovered (Californium and Berkelium already existing). The top ten included:
Memorialstadium
Oskigen
Blue
and the winner:
Unabombium.
I think Livermorium fits right in.
Congratulations, Ed and "crew!"

Ed,
Lv - good news.
I remember an LDRD proposal presentation related to this years ago.
I hope Ken Hulet, his team, and all who worked on this over the many years get appropriate recognition and kudos for their heavy elemental dedication and efforts.

Since I lack a work ethic and have limited smarts, the only thing I discovered in Chemistry and Physics classes was Tedium.
Congrats to the Lv crew! Good job!

Congrats well deserved,but
perhaps there was some room for a more imaginative monicker,
Livermorium sounds like the brand name for a 19th century patent medicine.

I'm with Largo on this....
Even though Ed is not willing to take much more than "I had a small role getting some resources lined up" responsibility in finding the new element.
Three Cheers for the new element "Hartounium"

Good job and congratulations to Ed and the Livermore labs.
So what's Lv look like?
Humor:
"Oh here it comes it's gonna be good . . . Zing . . .
Did anyone get an image of it? (Using the most powerful microscope ever built for imaging atoms)
Nope. Nada. Nothing. (Half-life of ~60ms)"
Lol.
I'd say it probably looks like group 16 elements toward the very bottom of the column. Although thats gonna be tough to figure out since group 16 is diverse. It has non-metals, metalliods, and poor metals.
Does it have any special properties similiar to those Bob Lazar claimed for element 115?

Just wondering.
