Periodic table gets a new element after the discovery of 'Copernicium'
The periodic table - the chart studied by generations of children and chemists - is to get a little more crowded.
Scientists yesterday announced they are to add a 'super heavy' element, called copernicium, to the table.
The element - which has the symbol Cp - is named after the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus who deduced that the planets revolved around the sun.
It was discovered 13 years ago in a German nuclear laboratory - but was only accepted as a genuine element in June. For much of the last 13 years, copernicium was known as element 112.
