In Dubna, Russia at the Flerov Labratory of Nuclear Reactions, element 118 was discovered. It was named Ununoctium which means "one one eight." The first atom of it was make in spring of 2002. Later in 2005 two more atoms of it were made. The experiment in 2002 was, to put it simply, firing a focused beam of calcium at californium. The beam was 2.5 x 10<sup>19</sup> calcium ions. This produced a synthesis of ununoctium. In the end three neutrons were released. The entire process took four months. | In Dubna, Russia at the Flerov Labratory of Nuclear Reactions, element 118 was discovered. It was named Ununoctium which means "one one eight."
