Six Atoms of Element 117 Produced 213

mr crypto writes "A team of Russian and American scientists has produced six atoms of a new element, number 117, that has long stood as a missing link among the heaviest bits of atomic matter ever produced. The element, still nameless, appears to point the way toward a brew of still more massive elements with chemical properties no one can predict. The researchers say that the discovery bolsters the idea of an 'island of stability' among still heavier elements."

Woah, I'm not sure how it works in different countries but when I configure automatic payments with my bank they are just automated transactions to the company from my account. They don't dip into my account and take what they want. I give them what I expect to pay.

Sure that doesn't cover bills that fluctuate but I deposit what I spend on average and pay the difference if need be.
