The 113th element of the periodic table called Japan

The official announcement of the authorship of the 113th element of the periodic table will be held in late January, most likely, the authors call scientists from the Japanese Institute of RIKEN, and not the Russian-American group, said the Japanese media.According to the newspaper "Sankei" joint working group of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) in the IUPAC presented the outcome of the question of authorship and the conclusions that the author element should be recognized scientists RIKEN.

For the final decision to be announced at the end of January, it is necessary to IUPAP agreed with these conclusions, the RIA "Novosti".If Japanese scientists will be recognized as the creators of the item, they are likely to give him the title of "Japan". It will be the first "Japanese" element in the periodic table.Authored 113th member for more than ten years there is a struggle between Japan and the Russian-American team of scientists. Japanese scientists led by Kosuke Morita synthesized 113th element in September 2004, breaking up on the accelerator and pitting zinc-30 and Bi-83. As a result, they were able to capture three decay chains corresponding to the event of birth 113th member in 2004, 2005 and 2012.Russian and American scientists announced the creation of the 113th element in the synthesis of element 115 in Dubna in February 2004 and proposed to call it Becquerel.However, IUPAC found insufficient evidence that has been created is the 113th element. Within ten years, international organizations have studied the two sides presented research data on the synthesis of the 113th element.In nature, there are no elements heavier than uranium, that is, having an atomic number (number of protons in the nucleus of an atom) is greater than 92. They are obtained by artificial synthesis.In 2006, scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Lawrence (CA) and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna) claimed to have discovered a new chemical element with atomic number 118.
