[edit] History

The name unbitrium is used as a placeholder, as in scientific articles about the search for element 123. Transuranic elements (those beyond uranium) are, except for microscopic quantities, always artificially produced, and usually end up being named for a scientist or the location of a laboratory that does work in atomic physics (see systematic element name for more information).

[edit] Fictional Reference to Element 123: Jamesium (Rj)

In the fictional universe of Star Trek: The Next Generation, this element was apparently discovered and named. The episode "Rascals" depicted a "trans-periodic table," in a schoolroom set, which depicted element number 123 as being named jamesium, symbol Rj, having an atomic weight of 326. The graphic was created by set artists, probably a homage to designer Richard D. James, and listed this element in the fictional "gamma series."
