Definition
  1. Noun:
    • A radioactive transuranic element: "Element 108" is a synthetic, highly radioactive chemical element with an atomic number of 108. It is a man-made element not found in nature, belonging to the group of transuranium elements (those with atomic numbers greater than 92, uranium).
Usage Examples
  • Noun:
    • Scientists created a few atoms of element 108 in a laboratory experiment.
    • The discovery of element 108 was officially recognized in 1984.
