We may soon be able to make the heaviest element.

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California have successfully created livermorium, the third-heaviest element in the universe, by smashing a beam of charged titanium atoms into a piece of plutonium. This method of using titanium could potentially be used to synthesize element 120, the heaviest element in the periodic table. The researchers used rare isotopes of titanium, vaporized them, and turned them into a charged beam using microwaves. When the beam struck the plutonium target, two atoms of livermorium were detected. The researchers plan to attempt creating element 120 in 2025 using a heavier element as the target.
