?

Officially unnamed

Element 114 has a 30-second half-life, which is much longer than element 112's. This is evidence of the �island of stability� that was predicted to occur around element 114 (where the combination of protons and neutrons would combine to make a stable structure).

A beam containing 48Ca was aimed into a 244Pu target to make this atom.
