Scientists Move Closer to Synthesising Element 120, Marking Potential New Era in Periodic Table

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California are exploring new techniques for creating superheavy elements, focusing on the potential synthesis of “element 120,” also called unbinilium. If successful, this addition could lead to an eighth row on the periodic table. Using ion bombardment, researchers demonstrated a process that may achieve unbinilium by targeting californium with supercharged titanium ions. The approach offers promise, although creating just two atoms could take weeks. This project marks an important step forward in understanding atomic structures and superheavy elements.

Tempus ECO initial setup summary not matching timing report results

We are currently setting up the Tempus flow and have ran into some mismatched data regarding ECO and timing reports. I generated a timing report before running ECO and saw six total setup violations. When running opt_signoff -setup, the initial setup summary that was printed in the shell only showed one violation. I can see that violation from the initial setup summary in my pre-ECO timing report and it is not the worst path. Upon further investigation, I forced the tool to try to fix setup on one of the other five violations from the timing report using the opt_signoff_select_setup_endpoints attribute and the tool said that the endpoint had positive slack and would be ignored.
