You must add a |reason= parameter to this Cleanup template – replace it with {{Cleanup|reason=<Fill reason here>}}, or remove the Cleanup template.
The Universal Linear Accelerator is based at the Heavy Ion Research Centre (GSI) near Darmstadt, Germany. Its use has produced, in the past 20 years, elements 107 to 112 and the creation of element 113 is expected very soon. It is a linear particle accelerator that can accelerate any nuclei, incluing nuclei of heavy atoms. This allows it to generate superheavy transactinides.
However, there has been some controversy due of the lack of real practical uses for these new synthesised elements, mainly due to their short lifespans of up to 30 seconds. However, it is possible that in the future more stable isotopes of these elements will be found, and these could have practical applications.
