Nihonium is a synthetic chemical element with symbol Nh and atomic number 113. It is extremely radioactive; its most stable known isotope, nihonium-286, has a half-life of about 10 seconds. In the periodic table, nihonium is a transactinide element at the intersection of period 7 and group 13. Its creation was reported in 2003 by a Russian–American collaboration at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia, and in 2004 by a team of Japanese scientists at Riken in Wakō, Japan. The discoveries were confirmed by independent teams working in the United States, Germany, Sweden, and China. In 2015 the element was officially recognised; naming rights were assigned to Riken, as they were judged to have been first to confirm their discovery. The name, approved in the same year (announcement pictured), derives from a Japanese word for Japan, Nihon. Few details are known about nihonium, as it has only been formed in very small amounts that decay away within seconds. (Full article...)

Picture of the day for June 29, 2024
Battle of Inab

The Battle of Inab, also called Battle of Ard al-Hâtim or Fons Muratus, was fought on 29 June 1149, during the Second Crusade. The Zengid army of Atabeg Nur ad-Din Zangi destroyed the combined army of Prince Raymond of Poitiers and the Assassins of Ali ibn-Wafa. The Principality of Antioch was subsequently pillaged and reduced in size as its eastern border was pushed west, and both Raymond and his ally, Ali ibn-Wafa, were killed.

This image, from the 14th-century Passages d'outremer depicts the Battle of Inab in the main image, and the recovery of Raymond's body in the lower one. The volume it came from, with illustrations by Jean Colombe, is considered a masterpiece of manuscript illumination art, though it can't be considered particularly accurate to what things would have looked like in 1149.

  • @Howcheng:, there is nothing that I can see in the Isabel Martínez de Perón that she was sworn in on this date, only that she became president on her husband's death on July 1. This was raised on MP:Errors but wasn't addressed, can you take a deeper look if you have time. Stephen 01:45, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Stephen: From Isabel Martínez de Perón#Presidency: Juan Perón suffered a series of heart attacks on 28 June 1974; Isabel was summoned home from a European trade mission and secretly sworn in as acting president the next day. —howcheng {chat} 06:03, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
