Un-Un-Pentium On Your Periodic Table of the Elements? 172
PolygamousRanchKid writes, quoting Forbes "Researchers at Sweden's Lund University have announced that they've been able to confirm the existence of element 115 on the periodic table. This research team isn't the first to create element 115, which is currently known as ununpentium. The first claim that ununpentium had been synthesized in a lab was by a joint group of Russian and American researchers, who believed that they created it in their lab in 2004."

Oh, I'm sorry, you were looking for a valid use for some of these new Elements? Yeah, me too...

We call that one "reflashing your 'smart' meter"
