| | Chemical & Engineering News: Latest News - Hassium-270 Is Long-Lived |
 | | The team includes 24 scientists from 10 research institutions, including the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Institute for Heavy-Ion Research (GSI), both in Germany, as well as institutions in Russia, the U.S., Switzerland, Japan, China, and Poland. |
 | | The target was also doped with a small amount of gadolinium to produce isotopes of hassium's lighter homolog, osmium. |
 | | Hs, scientists learned that hassium and osmium—but not other heavy elements—form volatile tetroxides, thereby providing a method for filtering unwanted products. |
