Happy New Year everyone.

As some of you might be aware, there have, over the holiday period, been announced 4 new elements added to the Periodic Table:  113, 115, 117 and 118, but they have yet to be officially named.

Take a look at: http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/2016/01/new-elements-periodic-table-seventh-row-iupac

Far be it from me, but isn’t this surely the perfect opportunity for Doug to dream up, sorry, create the new element names? Irrespective of whether they might be officially adopted, give it a go Doug?

All the best
