Livermorium (Lv)

Livermorium is a synthetic chemical element named after Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Core Principles & Analysis

• Livermorium was first synthesized in July 2000 at Dubna, one atom at a time, by fusing calcium-48 projectiles with a curium-248 target.
• It was named in 2012 for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, Dubna's American partner in a string of superheavy-element discoveries.
• Its longest-lived known isotope, livermorium-293, survives only tens of milliseconds before alpha-decaying to flerovium.
