Interesting. The list grows and becomes ever more solid.

When chemists/physicits create ever larger elements who then exists for fractions of microseconds.

Who asks me inappropiate questions also has to live with the answers I may give.
The point about this element is that the first isotope produced lasted some milliseconds, and a version with more neutrons lasted seconds.
This supports the hypothesis of "islands of stability" for nucleii with some combinations of large numbers of protons and neutrons well beyond that of the known stable elements.
