Several sources are reporting that the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry has confirmed Copernicium as element 112 on the periodic table of elements with the symbol Cn. "The naming of the new element will be the culmination of a long, fraught journey involving fierce competition, dashed hopes, clever detective work and even a brush with scientific misconduct. With a nucleus containing 112 protons — 20 more than uranium, the heaviest of the naturally occurring elements — it will be the weightiest atom whose existence has been confirmed so far."

not necessarily,.....but if it were DEADLY,....well,...a few atoms of it don't do squat.
Anything that CAN appear in quantity,.....well,...nature did it. Not to say that SOME where/when in the entire multiverse of allternity there isnt a big ball of this stuff,...but man wont be marketing it anytime soon.(except perhaps in Sci-fi)

It seem like the problem with all these "new" elements,....is that if you want to "make" something out of them,...you only have a very few atoms to work with. Now in Sci-Fi,.....well,.....let me tell ya,....imagination is a bad ass architect and engineer!!!
Sound to me like it would make ONE HELL of a paperweight........
