adeelarshad82 writes "Chemistry's periodic table can soon welcome livermorium and flerovium, two newly named elements, which were announced Thursday (Dec. 1) by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.

Three other new elements just recently finished this process, filling in the 110, 111 and 112 spots."
