Periodic Table Extended A team of American and Russian physicists have added two new elements to the periodic table -- numbers 113 and 115. From a phyics perspective, the atoms were long lived, though decayed in less than a second. Physicists believe that there is a point at which massive atoms may become stable, and long lived -- the feeling is that as they continue to create larger atoms in the lab, they're going to eventually hit that point. None of this really have practical applications -- it's more for research and understanding nature.
