Scientists have discovered superheavy elements up to oganesson, with a Z of 118 .

The island of stability is a region where elements with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons may have much longer half-lives than the elements near it.

The typical way of producing high-Z elements is reaching its limit.

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California has developed a new method.

The discovery represents the first time a collision of non-magic nuclei has shown the potential to create other superheavy atoms and isotopes.

About 110 isotopes of superheavy elements are known to exist, but another 50 are expected to be out there, waiting to be uncovered by new techniques.
