>116, 118 Berkeley USA - 1999

Hi
This announcement of new heavy element was retracted because the claim is based on fabricated / fake data.
The official heaviest element is Darmstadtium (111) from Darmstadt, German.
There are claims about 112, 114, 116, but IUPAC have not make any decision about the new elements.

Hi
Perhaps you should wait for IUPAC confirmation about the new elements. It take 3 years to find the hoax / fabricated / fake data on element 116 and 118.
