Rediscovery of Element 118?

OK, here we go again!

The team from Dubna and Lawrence Livermore has announced the discover of element 116, and the rediscovery of element 118.

Read all about it at the PNU link, and at the Nature link [Note that the Nature link is available for free only for a limited time]
