Copernicium Confirmed As Element 112 183
Several sources are reporting that the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry has confirmed Copernicium as element 112 on the periodic table of elements with the symbol Cn. "The naming of the new element will be the culmination of a long, fraught journey involving fierce competition, dashed hopes, clever detective work and even a brush with scientific misconduct. With a nucleus containing 112 protons — 20 more than uranium, the heaviest of the naturally occurring elements — it will be the weightiest atom whose existence has been confirmed so far."

Exactly you can find it right between the unaffordium and the baloneyum.
Bloody Yanks - those of us who remember the Queen's English know it's spelled 'bolognium'...
... or was that 'bologniminium?'
