Named after Moscow, Russia. Moscovium is an extremely radioactive element. Its most stable known isotope, moscovium-290, has a half-life of only 0.65 seconds. About 100 atoms of Moscovium have been observed to date, all of which have been shown to have mass numbers from 287 to 290.

This display is contained within crystal clear Lucite acrylic.

Safety

We get asked about the radioactivity and overall safety of the periodic tables/cubes from time to time. These are legitimate concerns and we wanted to address those concerns here. Although there are several elements in the cubes that are dangerous or toxic, the acrylic and glass ampules make the products safe to handle and store.

The average American is exposed to 0.034 mrem/hr from background radiation (300 mrem/year). In other words, a person will get three times the radiation from natural background radiation which includes the sun, food, radon, and the environment, than they will from holding a radioactive element in one of our Lucite Acrylic displays.
