- The latest CRC goes up to 110. None from 104 on have official names, though
- the Americans and Soviets proposed (different) names for 104 and 105. Since
- the Soviets are no more this may have changed.
-
- I'm waiting for 114, my old chemistry book says it may be stable or at least
- have a long half-life due to nuclear shell theories.
