Element 118 has an interesting and fascinating history. In June 1999 the LawrenceBerkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) announced that its team working with the 88-inchcyclotron and related detection equipment had produced a few atoms of the heavy elementZ-118. The team claimed it contained 118 protons and 175 neutrons in its nucleus for a totalof 293 atomic mass units (amu) plus one neutron. One of its several decay products was elementZ-116.
