    Remember the old periodic table we memorized in school? They looked something like this -

    Well, all the unknowns are now known! The last four elements were discovered by scientists in Russia and have been formally included in the table. The last row of the periodic table is finally full. The elements have placeholder names for now, but they will receive formal names soon. Some suggestions include Daltonium after John Dalton for his pioneering work in atomic theory, and Lavoisium, after Antoine Lavoisier, father of modern chemistry. Would have made a great subject for a puzzle!

    Periodic table's seventh row finally filled as four new elements are added | Science | The Guardian

    We should definitely meet. If not, at least we should speak over the phone.

    I can send you my contact info. If you tell me how to reach you as you don't accept private messages.
