But it is a most interesting story which deserves to be known also to historians, philosophers, and sociologists of science and indeed to the general public. This is what the present work aims at. It tells the story or rather parts of the story, of how physicists and chemists created elements heavier than uranium or searched for them in nature. And it does so with an emphasis on the frequent discovery and naming disputes concerning the synthesis of very heavy elements. Moreover, it calls attention to the criteria which scientists have adopted for what it means to have discovered a new element. In this branch of modern science it may be more appropriate to speak of creation instead of discovery. The work will be of interest to scientists as well as to scholars studying modern science from a meta-perspective. 000826268 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed February 19, 2018). 000826268 650_0 $$aTransuranium elements. 000826268 650_0 $$aSuperheavy elements. 000826268 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3319758128$$z9783319758121$$w(OCoLC)1020028205 000826268 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in history of science and technology. 000826268 852__ $$bebk 000826268 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-75813-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000826268 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:826268$$pGLOBAL_SET 000826268 980__ $$aEBOOK 000826268 980__ $$aBIB 000826268 982__ $$aEbook 000826268 983__ $$aOnline 000826268 994__ $$a92$$bISE
