How was it created???
The experiments took place at a cyclotron, a circular particle accelerator, in
Russia, where the scientists fired a rare (1) isotope of calcium at americium,
an element used in applications as varied as nuclear weapons research and
household smoke detectors. Four times during a month of 24-hour-a-day
(2) bombardment in July and August, scientists on the experiment said, a calcium
nucleus fused with an americium nucleus and created a new element.
(1) form of element with same atomic number
(2) attack somebody or something over, and over again

Fun Facts!!!
-Name that means one-one-five in Latin.
-is called superheavies because of their enormous atomic mass. Such superheavy elements are created in the lab by colliding lighter atoms
together.
-Calcium is the twentieth element in the periodic table, and americium the ninety-fifth, so they combine to create the hundred and fifteenth element.
-It is highly radioactive and soon will be made into the next new generation of technology!
-"We would like to honor an outstanding scientist,who changed our view of the world”, says one of the scientists that works at Dubna.

This is Ununpentium being made, with the atoms combining. It is looked through a highly special microscope and it is being taken place around the middle of the combining!
