A group of scientists has claimed after its latest research that the existence of a new element having atomic number 115 has now been confirmed.

Another team of researchers from Russia had discovered the super-heavy element in the year 2004 for the first time. But, the presence of the same, named as ununpentium for now, has not been verified and needs approval of the chemistry and physics' governing body.

Varied studies have earlier claimed that the element (symbol Uup) existed. But the research conducted lately at Germany's GSI research facility allowed for boosted evidence, which has appeared in the GSI research facility. Six other elements have also been found earlier at the facility.

The element americium's thin film was barraged with calcium ions. The same allowed Dirk Rudolph and colleagues from Lund University to measure photons related to the alpha decay of the novel element.

The photons' certain energies conformed to energies hoped for -ray radiation. The latter, reportedly, acts as a given element's fingerprint.

It is being said that the finding was beyond the standard measurement. "This was a very successful experiment and is one of the most important in the field in recent years", avowed professor at division of atomic physics, Rudolph.
