New Chemical Elements 113 and 115

Oliver Sacks has an article at the New York Times entitled Greetings From the Island of Stability where he writes:

"Last week the discovery of two new elements - 113 and 115 - was announced by a team of Russian and American scientists. There is something about such announcements that raises the spirits, thrills one, evokes thoughts of new lands being sighted, of new areas of nature revealed. "

The article goes on to discuss the new generation of elements which have been "discovered" in modern times.
