Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory created element 116, 'livermorium', using a titanium beam. This breakthrough marks a significant step towards creating element 120 and offers insights into atomic behavior. The titanium beam method validates production process and paves the way for synthesizing element 120, which, if discovered, would be the heaviest atom and could help map atomic nuclei limits.
