69.0. "New Heavy Metal" by CALDEC::RAH (the truth is out there.) Fri Nov 18 1994 17:53

    
    New transuranic element was created by bombarding Pb
    with Ni atoms. 
    
    The result is a very heavy metal indeed. But, the institute
    needs a name. Any nominees?

	Ask Ludwig Plutonium on the Internet. He has every element up to 190 named. He has new names for the isotopes of common elements as well. -Madman

	I suspect they may call it Darmstadtium after the hometown of the Institute where it was discovered (or invented, since they in effect manufactured it).
69.12	Don't know what part, if any, he had in the #110 project	COVERT::COVERT	John R. Covert	`Sun Nov 20 1994 23:13`	10
	Ottonium or Titzium after my friend Dr. Otto Titze, in the Department of Nuclear Physics at the Technische Hochschule in Darmstadt. /john
69.13		CALDEC::RAH	the truth is out there.	`Sun Nov 20 1994 23:24`	2
	not the Institute for Ion Research?
69.14	His VMS node name is "linac" for "linear accelerator", though	COVERT::COVERT	John R. Covert	`Sun Nov 20 1994 23:30`	6
	Hmmm. I suppose that the Institute for Ion Research isn't necessarily even part of the Department of Nuclear Physics at the THD. Well, name it after him anyway; he's an all-around good guy. /john

	If we ever reach element #586 I propose it should be called "pentium". -Madman

	Another plate on the ol bar? Perhaps an additional 45 pound plate on each side...listening to deadlepord....yelling with the band, wist squating.
69.20		FINS::SLABOUNTY	Don't drink the (toilet) water.	`Fri Mar 29 1996 18:36`	7
	Is this element on the new Periodic Table? If so, I guess my "Periodic Table coffee mug" is obsolete since it doesn't have this on it. And how often do they update the table [he asks innocently]?
69.21	they've been busy at Darmstadt...	EVMS::MORONEY	while (!asleep) sheep++;	`Fri Mar 29 1996 19:24`	2
	Better get out a hammer and smash that mug to pieces. It's highly obsolete now, since they're up to 112 now.
