Number 204 (Story #1), November 23, 1994 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein ELEMENT 110 HAS BEEN CREATED artificially at the Heavy Ion Research Center in Darmstadt, Germany. With an atomic weight of 269 this heaviest of atoms was made in a collision between lead and nickel atoms; it decays promptly into lighter elements. The German scientists, led by Peter Armbruster, hope to make an even heavier isotope of element 110. They are also hoping to make element 114. (Associated Press, 18 November 1994.)
