Three New Elements Added To The Periodic Table

[pokerfan]

Today, November 4, 2011, the General Assembly of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) is meeting at the Institute of Physics in London, to approve the names of three new elements… one of which will honor the great Copernicus. Their names are: Element 110, darmstadtium (Ds), Element111, roentgenium (Rg) and Element 112. copernicium (Cn).

2. But only in the crystal form, right?

Well, I guess that will have to await another Enterprise. ;-)

3. No, that is Dilithium.

Dilithium is used to power the Federation Starships. Trilithium is a highly unstable synthetic substance that can stop all nuclear reactions.

4. Oh, yeah. n/t

5. still waiting for unobtanium
