Post New element for Periodic Table
From the BBC website:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8093374.stm

There should be a competition where suggestions for a name can be submitted, don't you think? Winner's choice immortalised in millions of textbooks...

How about unobtainium!

Years ago, there was a chap called Bob Lazar who made some (now largely discredited) claims about alien technology, in particular the propulsion systems which required element 113, IIRC.
Kinda cool to see us getting nearer that mark. :)

Don’t names tend to follow naming conventions for other elements in the same group or column?

It should be called Awesomomium.
