Roentgenium - Periodic Table of Videos

[Novaspes82]

He said "you BANG the copper"!! LOL ^_^

[ntnism]

it´s easy to say if you are danish.

[skoockum]

Ach, I love German chemist tang

[MediumNothinFull]

THANK YOU SO MUCH UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM FOR THE AWESOME VIDEOS!!!!!!!

[MediumNothinFull]

1:36 Whistle Whistle!

[SpartanStig117]

why do a lot of elements have "ium" at the end?

[ilikewebm]

it's röntgen and not röntegen :(

[yevonator88]

Scientists and their promises of cake...

[andrucks]

In the beginning I was expecting him to sit in the chair in the middle and spin around like a bond villain.

[DazIOM1140]

Why cant you smack any two or more element together in order to get the elements you want for example; tin (Tn) and Thallium (Ti)?

[Tossphate]

@DazIOM1140 If by that you mean why not just use atomic fusion to make any useful element, common or not, instead of mining it- you could, but you would be doing it atom by atom. It would take millions of years, and unimaginable amounts of energy to get tea spoon quantities.

[boiledhooker]

His voice cracks at 3:33

[lhbeau]

Why is it that some tables of elements show #111 is Roentgenium and others show #111 is Unununium? Is it just an ID crisis?

[limefrog77]

@lhbeau it took along time for the international community to agree on the names for some of the higher elements as american and russian scientists were bickering about it.... recently many of these elements have received their permanent names .... unununium was a provisional name

[TheUniverseofScience]

It looks like the LHC.

[EducationLover]

@TheUniverseofScience cause it's a LHC :)!

[LightLink1992]

well we in germany dont really have a problem with röntgen

its spelled like that : Röntgen

but in latin there is no Ö

so its written Roentgen :D

[xxxrrrxxxrrr]

@LightLink1992 Umlauts, fuck yeah!

[djteac]

@LightLink1992 yeah but "röntgenium" still is kinda hard to say, even for a german. It is an unusual combination somehow. I mean you can, but it just feels strange.

[runnybabbit12]

ever since i started watching these videos i have noticed a constant

these nerdy chicks are hot and smart

who says nerds can meet babes?

[1989Gez1989]

the block didn't fit!

[DjayeAfterlife]

2:40 - 2:44 so cute ^^

[panzuman]

so what is this element's use?

[PaladinswordSaurfang]

she is hot...

[behnamasid]

Women become sexy when they talk science.

[ArcusVernificus]

There was cake. It was really good.

[calumisdead]

@ArcusVernificus And champagne.

[jjovereats]

Unununium.

[Mastan0]

Standard Dell keyboard/ mouse to The Prof's right...

fffffffffffffffff

[smeghead666]

Sexy and smart, even gets excited about doing the ioning, what a woman

[TankzOnline]

@smeghead666

"ioning" rofl....

[iownslaves]

omg she's so hot

[Skandalos]

Typisches Beispiel für staatlich betriebene Wissenschaft: extrem viel Aufwand, nichtige Resultate. Je mehr Steuergelder da investiert werden, desto größer die Wahscheinlichkeit, daß son Institut zum reinen Selbstzweck bzw. Abzockladen verkommt. Wahre Wissenschaft braucht nicht viel Geld, sondern viel Motivation, Fleiß und Idealismus! Die größten Entdeckungen wurden stets von Leuten gemacht, die bereit waren, sehr vieles zu opfern.

[Xc31]

@Skandalos all the germans in this video spoke english, you could have given it a try :P

[OursHommePorc]

My biology would like to do physics with that lovely Chemist....

[heartlessvietboy]

They are obsessed with adding new elements to the periodic table.  They kick you out for telling them they are balogny because it is balogny.

[VannevarBush]

@heartlessvietboy

These discoveries will help to find stable islands of element with element numbers expected to be higher than 120. One day this will help to get rid of all the nuclear waste by transforming for instance Uranium into a non-radioactive element instead of waiting billions of years until it is no more dangerous.

[heartlessvietboy]

indeed. Chemical elements can help you or kill you.

[VannevarBush]

@heartlessvietboy

True. As everything does.

[ninjaswordtothehead]

Definitely wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers......

[UncleKennybobs]

She'll do.

[natemcgraw]

happy birthday X-Rays!

[narutofan190249]

Sorry if I sound stupid, but isn't there already element 112, Ununbium? I'm reading the atomic number, but there are over 112 elements in the periodic table.

[Zz4m]

@narutofan190249 The larger elements in the periodic table are very unstabel. You can't find those elements anywhere on earth. When they created the periodic table, they left room for those heavy elements and gave them names like element 112 = ununbium (latin for one hunderd and twelve). When researcher create  the real element, they can give it a proper name (Uub = Copernicium).

[kabivose]

@Zz4m Um, the Latin for one hundred is centum and twelve is doudecim.

ununbium just means one one two, with an ending to make it sound like an element.

Unununium should have been left as it was - just sounds good!

[sek929]

Slender Female German Physicist? Sign me up!

[Soulrider2012]

@sek929 Where did you see a slender female German physicist? If you are talking about Carola from GSI (the woman in the video) you have no idea what she does. She's probably just a spokesperson from the company. For all you know she might have the IQ of a squirrel. They don't say what she does just her name and company. ;->)

[Hellsslave666]

I love the professor saing Röntgenium (ö=oe), cuz' im german and it's funny to hear that.

And yes intelligent women are hell damn sexy!!

[omerta410]

i love this woman!!

[presbarkeep]

damn she is hot... i wonder if she would go out with me...

[Gcrowan]

All's good when there's cake :D

[EvanLHarper]

Here we have a video depicting an enormously complicated apparatus, assembled at the cost of millions of dollars, reflecting the accumulated knowledge of many generations of dedicated scientists, and all I can think of is how cute the operator is. I guess biology trumps chemistry.

[Zdawg2324]

@EvanLHarper I was thinking the same thing, mate.

[acs197]

@EvanLHarper

Haha! So true, so true.

[jreed136]

@EvanLHarper I cannot fault you for this.

[Scrap5000]

Hot German Woman is Hot

[elichannn]

The cake is a lie! 1:37

[Zdawg2324]

@elichannn why?

[LightLink1992]

@elichannn I dont think her name is Glados :D

[johnmacward]

I watch this just for her, Wow.

[RichardRoy2]

I was wondering if anyone was working on a periodic table that showed a continuum of properties of the elements under changing conditions. eg, many experiments specify temperature and pressure as part of the conditions. Using one of those conditions as control and varying the other might produce some interesting tables of properties. Say, an extremely wide variation in pressure, and the changes in effect on a single element.

[RayX77]

the cake is a lie

[jjkul1]

@RayX77

so is the banana.

[hemorrhagegoth]

Bang the copper into the lead at extremely high velocities, that's what she said LOL

[DyingElement]

love the old man`s tie :) table of elements

[ActiveStorage]

all these new discoveries are cool and all the new elements they talk about are very unstable and useless. correct me if im wrong

[RichardRoy2]

@ActiveStorage You're correct in that they're unstable. But they're unstable under existing conditions. What would be interesting, would be to find under what conditions they'd become stable. Existing conditions are not the only conditions in the universe. And many of the elements of the periodic table have varying degrees of stability in our environment. So I don't think it's useless.

[ActiveStorage]

@RichardRoy2 i agree. I also think we should run the whole bunch of ordinary physical experiments but else where. beyond our solar system for example or on its outskirts just to verify different common beliefs and such..

[RichardRoy2]

@ActiveStorage It would be an interesting endeavor, indeed. I'm not sure how feasable it is at the moment. Perhaps some of these conditions could be extrapolated by varying the environment in some way from it's current state by, for example, increasing the pressure in an isolation chamber. Or, if you like, varying the temperature. If it's done in gradations, it may produce some interesting results that may guide us to further understanding of the properties of these materials.

[ActiveStorage]

@RichardRoy2 true, tho i was thinking that space or solar environment for instance might exhibit unknown different properties.. something we cant really extrapolate or simulate here on earth because of its orbit

[RichardRoy2]

@ActiveStorage Good point. I hadn't thought of that. I'm pretty sure it will eventually be done. If we can regain some degree of social stability here on Earth, perhaps we could develope that Moon base. Or, eventually, a Mars base. Even those areas in our solar system, outside the influence of the Earths properties could be quite revealing. Perhaps it may come to show that the evidence supporting the big bang was an illusion created by the effects of Earth.

[daviclond]

@RichardRoy2 are you saying we don't have widespread stability in the first world?

[RichardRoy2]

@daviclond I'm speaking more of the precarious state of our economic system right now. History shows that civilizations have a tendency to expand to beyond it's ability to function. It's like the "Peter principle" where an executive gets promoted to his level of incompetance.

[ActiveStorage]

@RichardRoy2 it was fun chatting with yah )

peace

[RichardRoy2]

@ActiveStorage My pleasure. You've asked some interesting questions. Thanks, and peace back at you.

[whiterottenrabbit]

Damn, this Carola is smoking hot!

[whiterottenrabbit]

Damn, this Carola is smoking hot!

[johnnyjohn2005]

I don't know what the fuss is about i hammered a peice of my gold chain against my lead roof and golleadgenium was born, 113. Bonne nuit.

[rhn94]

awesome tie :P

[PXNielsen]

lol yeah

english speaking people can't really pronounce "oe" or "ø"

[asumazilla]

yeah we don't like to :)

[coppurt]

So what exactly is element 111 used for?

[douro20]

@coppurt

It's useless...

[bmed19]

wow sad. celebreating the dicovery of something...

[flurble33]

@bmed19 In what way is celebrating the increase of knowledge sad?

[joshman5001]

the cake is a lie

[themountainviewguy]

Loose the f-ing commercials

[mvszao]

Cake and Champagne... Hehe, I want make an element too!

[the8t88]

You are doing a great Job with your Videos!

Would you be so kind to explain, if there is some idea for an "Application" of the element 111?

I Read on Wikipedia, that the traits of the Element are not 100% researched?

[ktie28]

why make a new element? for what?

[alcany]

@ktie28 For the love of science and discovery. To understand as much about this world as we can. They didnt 'make' a new element. It was already in nature, they just needed to find it.

[ballbagular]

@alcany What do you mean they didn't "make" a new element? That was the whole point of the experiment as it does not naturally occur on Earth.

[alcany]

@ballbagular I think its a little of both. They made Roentgenium from other elements. While discovering, is finding something that wasnt there before. I think Roentgenium need the right instruments for its detection/discovery.

[tochnietvanjou]

already in nature??? Do you know anything about the periodic table? Plutionium (number 94) is the heaviest semi-stable element there is. Roentgenium 281 has a half-life of 20 seconds... that's not really stable. So, it can't occur in nature, as it will disappear almost as soon as it's made.

[flutiwaxene]

That guy need some hair cut

[angelxsid]

Way to point out the least important thing in the video.

[dergotto]

Is Roentgenium really that new??

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

no, they just named it, but its still awesome what ever they get named.

[hansiraber]

@dergotto did you even watch the video?

[dergotto]

er....like partly.

was my question obviously stipid?

[hansiraber]

@dergotto watch 03:05

[dergotto]

er...like partly

was my question obviously stupid?

[daniel2future]

to everyone complaining about my my german accent: i challenge you - i bet i can pronounce christening right... but can you do roentgenium! ;-)

carola, the german hottie

[Arthur61987]

Daniel2future, I like your accent. I understood everything you said no problem and it's sexy :)

[Marine475]

@daniel2future Hahaha so true,I've heard so many time english people complaining about other nations no knowing english when in fact it's them who often can barely speak their own language and don't know any other.

[CarnalDiafragma]

@daniel2future Carola, I think your accent is very sexy, and it's easy to understand. I often hear english peaking people trying to speak german or dutch and that really sounds ridiculous :P You're doing great.

[mackinnon182]

that burd is quite nice :)

[homousios]

great video thanks. I am glad that Roentgen was finally recognized

[JaySharp604]

As much as a geeky comment this will be, I'm looking forward to the discovery of Adamantium. We're on our way. :)

[danielstlou]

size is it's own dimension

[doverlin]

the girl was good German breeding stock

[tomson600]

watch three heads of pretigious organizations ooo and aaah when the light comes on...

[tomson600]

how long did the new atoms last?

[XmrSkinx]

Holy Hair

[SteveOwens54321]

Wonder if anything else can be said about the element from such small samples and such elaborate (sic) equipment other than it simply exists.

Should this video be later updated, they should touch on that ; what is predicted and why.

[SaintofKillers66]

BANG THE COPPER

[uzanur]

awesome hair :) i like his hair..

[Guinnie]

@uzanur  Here hair here

[nakawoopahkapooski]

"Ve dont know yet vot ve are going to do for das krisening"

wat

[plagutus]

Roentgenium is easy to pronounce, atleast for a Finn :D

[kuro96inlaila]

111 and 11 is my lucky number!!! :-)

[4Dmetricology]

Damn, intelligent women are sexy!

[DeanMalenko]

@4Dmetricology indeed

[yo0yo0yo0]

awesome tie! and thanks for the educational videos.

[Incuby]

I wounder why they create those short living atoms? I mean do they use really use it or is is it just an adventure to spend loads of money to create atoms and think of a name? Like u can do an experiment with 3 atoms lol!

[RavnoUK]

i WISH i had that german girl as a cooworker :(

[jkingiv]

Awesome. Love these videos!

[sharethispoison7]

I always wonder about details, and with some of the equipment shown in the first seconds of this video... I have to wonder if they chose to color the whole thing light-purple, or if that coating serves some sort of purpose.

sidenote: I thought einstein had some crazy hair

[gayglue]

I have a question: If only minuscule amounts roentgenium can be made, why make it at all? What's the significance of creating these new elements, is there an actual use? Not to be a party-pooper or anything, I was just wondering. Great video!

[wasteland44]

There isn't really a use for most of the new elements we discover. Most only last a few seconds or less. The purpose is to increase our understanding of the universe. There is a possibility that a future element could have a longer half-life of a day or longer that could potentially have a practical use. Look up the "Island of Stability" on Wikipedia.

[gayglue]

@wasteland44 oooh, alright, that makes sense. thanks man, and I will.

[LilChikyChan]

ohh that makes sense....

i just deepened my knowlege....shame it wont help me on my chemistry test....for that i need to study convalent bonding ¬_¬

(ionic bonding is better!!)

[culwin]

I'm just going to keep calling it Copernicum because that's what the Prof here likes better.

[MichaelKingsfordGray]

Copernicium is element 112, not 111.

[culwin]

@MichaelKingsfordGray ok I know but thanks.

[TheFaustianMan]

12 years of peer-review...

[juggliac]

112 is copernicium! finally you get your wish professor! an element named after copernicus!

[gongargongar]

Hell yeah son, roentgenium. Who cares if you can pronounce it, as long as you can spell it!

[redone632]

Is there anyway we'll see element number 113?

[rabbitsib]

kinda problematic when making these elements, even when you have all the same calculations and the same settings that the element you are trying to make and detect doesn't all ways come out. What good are these elements, like Copernicium, if you can't make alot of them and put them to use.

[Coldchaos]

There are a few reasons:

1) There are some theories that suggest an "island of stability" in the elements the further we go up. If such an element would be discovered that could be produce en-mass it could have completely different properties not found in any other chemical.

2) Because we can.

3) To test theories regarding the properties of higher elements. (Predictive testing).

[grahamkeithtodd]

Professor please please please

NEVER CUT YOUR HAIR!

[dextha1042]

As soon as the professor appeared on screen i pressed 5 stars, didn't even wait for him to speak

[Brianthehax0r]

Gasp! a new weird name! atleast its not tungsten (w)

[havoc873]

@Brianthehax0r

I hate the name Tungsten. I prefer to call it Wolfram.

[Glibbled]

sick videos

[bomberfun1]

Lovely lady....marry me.

[antiswattt3]

asstastenoobium

[shaftymcshifterson]

why only lead and bismuth?

[TheUndert0ker]

Carola from GSI is a hottie!

[ICamXYZ]

OMG! I love that TIE!!!! :3

[kiIIamaim]

no, mate, the cake is a lie!

[GeoffreyBernardo]

I see that accelerator tube is full of little dents where the atoms ran into its walls.

[AdmiralBud]

I want to go and party with that chick at the crystening!

[GadBoDag]

@AdmiralBud

It's spelled "Christening," as in the naming ceremony for a child.

[AdmiralBud]

@GadBoDag yes, obviously, but she pronounces it crysening

[GetMeThere1]

Good video. Please continue to feature comely young women with exotic accents in your videos :D

[4jonah]

sweet. waiting for the naming of 114, from 09!

[Serostern]

Roentgenium is extremely simple to pronounce with a swedish accent

[holsson85]

Relatively easy to say in swedish!

Btw the red head was super cute! :D

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

yey for Cake

[paronfisk]

1:35 there was cake? Aww I should've gone there

[T1carus]

Ahhh you need a german accent to say Roentgenium properly

[Squagnut]

I think it's not too bad to have an element with such a tricky name. After all, it's not likely that anyone will have a jar of Roentgenium to do experiments with.

Heh, at least elements aren't named after Gilbert & Sullivan characters. Who could keep a straight face with a test-tube full of Yumyumium?

[atomicnumber86]

@Squagnut Actually it is quite easy to pronounce. As long as you do the germanic pronunciation of it. I have no problems, and the gods know I have difficulty uttering anything.

[Phacias]

Epic.

[RazielKain]

....The GSI named on of their elements "Darmstadtium" because it's NEAR Darmstadt

But the GSI is actually in Wixhausen (which belongs to Darmstadt) but "Wix" sounds like "Jerk off" in german so they didn't call it Wixhausium :>

[P00P0STER0US]

Roentgenium stays crunchy in milk.

[kherubiest2]

@Squagnut u got me damn xD

[CigarStudLasVegas]

oh that almos call for that joke we are all DYING to make about yumyumium ;-) that would actually be a REAL COOL name for something other than, well you know what I mean ;-) hehe

[halla369]

genius! :P
