New Elements

After being placed on the periodic chart around a year ago, man-made elements 114 and 116 have finally been named! 114 is now Flerovium, named after the laboratory it was created in (Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reaction). 116 is now Livermorium after the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
