Some research has referred to it as "eka-thallium". History On February 1, 2004, ununtrium and ununpentium were reported by a team composed of Russian scientists at Dubna (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research), and American scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Their discovery of the element still awaits confirmation. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/02/01/science/01ELEM.html?ex=1076216400&en=91af87c6dd4a6484&ei=5062&partner=GOOGLE On September 28, 2004, a team of Japanese scientists declared that they succeeded in synthesizing the element. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2004-09/28/content_2034889.htm (Morita et al, Experiment on the Synthesis of Element 113 in the Reaction 209Bi(70Zn, n)278113, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn., Vol. 73, No.10. Also press release in Japanese) Ununtrium is a temporary IUPAC systematic element name. External links
