The 114th Element
Scientists have created a new element that lasted for 30 seconds before 
decaying. The 114th element was created by smashing the atoms of one element 
against another. The element was created by bombarding a plutonium film with 
a beam of calcium atoms. This discovery is thought to be the new island of 
stability. Currently the 108th element holds this title (island of 
stability), it survived for 17 minutes.

Not much hope for compounds..... Larry
