What’s the next element? Hassium. I know nothing about hassium, shall we make something up? Hassium is an element which I knew nothing about. But now I discover it’s much more interesting than I thought. We’re here in the German state of Hesse at the institute GSI were hassium was first made in 1984. Hassia is the Latin name for this part of Germany Hesse and hence it is named after the place it was discovered. So down here we have the accelerator that accelerated atoms of iron to bang into a lead target to make element 108 Hassium. Element 108 is actually in the same group of the periodic table as iron, that much I knew when I first talked about it. But what I didn’t realise is that the element has a few atoms that are long enough lived that yo...
