Michael Swanwicks Periodic Table of Science Fiction 110 Ds Darmstadtium 281Science Made Ugly Science in the abstract is a cerebral thing a lofty and selfless Olympian pursuit of truth. Inpractice however there can be a lot on the linefunding promotion glory. So egos getinvolved. Passions are aroused. Sometimes it gets ugly. A case in point is the competition for bragging rights to the discovery of element 110. It began when an international team of researchers headed by Yuri Oganessian at the JINR inRussia then the USSR boasted of doing the deed first by bombarding uranium with argon-140ions and then by bombarding thorium with calcium-44 ions. This claim was disputed and theInternational Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry IUPAC declined to give credit to the IonJets as the team styled itself. Then Big Al Ghiorso and his homies at Lawrence Berkeleytheycalled themselves the Supercollidersmade a bid for turf. But again the evidence was too closefor the IUPAC to call. Soon thereafter the Atom Smashers a Teutono-Russo-Finno-Slovak gang operating out of the GSIin Darmstadt said theyd bombarded a lead target with nickel ions and produced three atoms ofwhat was then given the temporary handle ununnilium. Unfortunately by the time the IUPAC referees got there the atoms were gone decayed to hassium seaborgium and rutherfordium. Finally the Ion Jets under their new leader Yuri Lazarev Oganessian had been deposed in aknife fight said theyd created element 110 by bombarding plutonium with sulfur-34 ions andalso as part of the alpha-decay chain from their discovery of element 114. By this pointemotions were running so high that the IUPAC judges changed their names moved to a neighboringcity and hid under their beds waiting for the whole thing to blow over. Which is how it came about that all three teams agreed to settle the matter once and for allin the parking lot out behind the gym after the big game. They brought shivs and zip-guns andwore their gang smocks. When the blood stopped flowing the Darmstadt Atom Smashers were thelast ones standing. Which is why ununnilium is now officially called darmstadtium. Science isnt pretty
