I was recently reading an article about the element Ununoctium when I came across an article talking about an theorized Island of Stability when it comes to these heavy elements. Basically what the theory says is that elements keep getting more and more unstable until they reach a point of Stability where they start becoming stable again. Information on this can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_stability
There has also been some scientific evidence to back this theory up: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/07/sc...07element.html
So my question is this. Lets say this is true, and there is an Island of Stability. And lets also say that we humans manufactured a new element say Element 125 or so and it fit with these rules and had a half life similar to Plutonium. Would we be able to get any more energy out of it than we do Plutonium. Would these New Elements be a good source of Energy and power for us or would they be pretty much useless?
