The predictions by theoretical physicists that superheavy nuclei with 114 protons and 184 neutrons can survive for a relatively long time if they could be synthesized is ratified by the newly discovered radioactive isotope of element 108. The radioactive isotope survives for a nearly half-minute that transpired from the creation to disintegration of four atoms of hassium-270 however, the method to prepare huge nuclei is not found.
