Row 7 of the periodic table has now 'officially' been made whole!
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/4-new-elements-complete-periodic-tables-seventh-row/

Not sure how good a fuel source ununtrium is (half life generally  is measured in microseconds, with one isotope having a 19.6 second half life), but sci fi writers might have some fun with it!  The four 'new' elements still need to be officially named.

Now the fun question, is there going to be a row 8?

I collect and restore classic motorcycles, which tend to have parts made of "Unobtainium".

Chinese motorcycles tend to use a metals refered to by mechanics in the west as "Crappite" and "sh*teium". Nobody is sure if these metals are alloys or pure metals.

The Klingons have many ways to fry a cat. I prefer to use an L7 Fast Battlecruiser!!
