Though it was first created by scientists a decade ago, the highly radioactive chemical element with an atomic number of 115—currently referred to as ununpentium, from the Latin roots un for one and pent for five—was never added to the periodic table of elements because it lacked independent confirmation. Although the element exists for less than a second before decaying into lighter atoms, a Swedish team was finally able to do this. The findings will now be reviewed by the international body of chemists and physicists responsible for maintaining the periodic table.
