Microscopic, metallic spheres were discovered during a 2023 oceanic expedition.
The BeLaU spherules are a collection of microscopic, metallic spheres enriched in beryllium (Be), lanthanum (La), and uranium (U), discovered during a 2023 oceanic expedition led by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb. This mission aimed to locate remnants of a meteor, designated IM1, which entered Earth’s atmosphere in 2014 and was hypothesized to be of interstellar origin
The silvery-white metal is one of six platinum group elements (PGEs) found in the Periodic Table of the Elements. The others are iridium, osmium, platinum, rhodium and ruthenium.
I was watching The Curse of Oak Island and they found Palladium in wood samples at over 100 feet deep in the Money Pit area. They believe that this wood comes from a tunnel. Palladium was discovered in 1803 by the English chemist William Hyde Wollaston and was named after the asteroid Pallas, which had been discovered a few years earlier.
A rare-earth metallic element whose salts are light pink. Symbol: Eu; atomic weight: 151.96; atomic number: 63.
Europium is a chemical element with the symbol Eu and atomic number 63. It belongs to the lanthanide series, a group of elements located in the f-block of the periodic table. Europium is a soft, silvery-white metal that is highly reactive and can ignite in air at room temperature. It is the most reactive of the rare earth elements and can react with water to produce hydrogen gas.
Selenium is a chemical element with the symbol Se and atomic number 34. It belongs to the chalcogen group on the periodic table, along with oxygen, sulfur, tellurium, and polonium. Selenium is a nonmetal[1] and has several important applications in various industries, including electronics, glass manufacturing, and agriculture.

In Arlington National Cemetery lies Captain Jimmy Priestly Robinson of the US Air Force, Distinguished Flying Cross, Purple Heart, and Air Medal. It celebrates a pilot who flew into a hydrogen bomb’s mushroom cloud to give the world two new elements. By 1952, the world knew of 98 elements, the last six had been created at the University of California, Berkeley, mainly by chemist Glenn Seaborg, by bombarding nuclei with light ions or neutrons.
