The General Assembly of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), taking place at the Institute of Physics in London, has approved the names of three new elements.
Elements 110, 111 and 112 have been named darmstadtium (Ds), roentgenium (Rg) and copernicium (Cn).
The elements are so large and unstable they can only be made in the lab and quickly break down into other elements.
They are known as Super-heavy elements.
Periodic Table swells as three new elements named - Readability
