Christening ceremony at the GSI: Chemical Element 112 is named Copernicium
16-Jul-2010
On Monday July 12, 2010, the chemical element discovered at GSI was christened “copernicium”. This symbolic christening celebrated the element's eternal entry into the periodic table of elements. Copernicium is 277 times heavier than hydrogen and the heaviest element officially recognized in the ...
Chemical element 114: A first at GSI
One of the heaviest elements
25-Jun-2010
At GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, an international team of scientists succeeded in the observation of the chemical element 114, one of the heaviest elements created until now. The production of element 114 is very difficult and requires dedicated particle accelerators. So far, ...
Chemical element 112 is named 'Copernicium'
The name proposed by GSI for the heaviest chemical element has been officially endorsed
26-Feb-2010
IUPAC accepted the name proposed by the international discovering team around Sigurd Hofmann at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum. The team had suggested "Cp" as the chemical symbol for the new element. However, since the chemical symbol "Cp" gave cause for concerns, as this abbreviation also has other ...
Setting out to discover new, long-lived elements
For the first time, 'ion traps' were used to measure super heavy elements
15-Feb-2010
Besides the 92 elements that occur naturally, scientists were able to create 20 additional chemical elements, six of which were discovered at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt. These new elements were produced artificially with particle accelerators and are all very ...
Element 112 shall be named "copernicium"
Proposed name honors astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus
15-Jul-2009
In honor of scientist and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543), the discovering team around Professor Sigurd Hofmann suggested the name "copernicium" with the element symbol "Cp" for the new element 112, discovered at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung (Center for Heavy Ion ...
