moscovium
mos·co·vi·um M5466450 (mŏ-skō′vē-əm) n. Symbol Mc An artificially produced radioactive element with atomic number 115 whose most stable isotope has a mass number of 289 and a half-life of 220 milliseconds. [New Latin Moscovia, Moscow, Muscovy (probably from Old Russian Moskovĭ, accusative of *Mosky, Moscow, source of Modern Russian Moskva, Moscow) + -ium (so called because it was first synthesized at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, in the Moscow region).] moscovium

Swedish researchers from Lund Univ., in a 2013 experiment at the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research, Darmstadt, Germany, largely replicated the 2003 results, producing moscovium-288. The Russian-American discovery of the element was confirmed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) in 2015. The name moscovium, in honor of the Moscow region (home of the Dubna facility), was suggested by the element's discoverers in 2016 and approved by IUPAC later that year. The most stable isotope of moscovium, Mc-289, has a half-life of approximately 200 msec.
