Name a better element than Actinium.
Protip: you can't

Berkelium
Tennessine

Diamond is the hardest element ever made by man
>>8696208
Represent from sig mtn
>>8696209
diamond's not an element numb nuts
>>8696209
Always wondered why aren't diamomd bullet proof vest made
>>8696234
Because diamond shatters easily, even though it’s so hard.

I'm more of an Astatine guy... You've probably never seen it.
>>8696208
Dammit! Beat me to it! 931 here...but I live in FL now...still have old area code.

I'm a fan of bismuth myself. It has a halflife so long that the universe has not gone on long enough for any bismuth to lose half it's particles.
>>8696249
What about diamond infused carbon fiber graphine armor
>>8696260
If you're a fan of half lives, protons have 7 orders of magnitude higher half lives.
>>8696260
Whoops...I don't know why I said 7...it's 22 orders higher.

>tfw tennesse and california have elements but texas doesn't
but Texium doesn't sound like a very good element name anyway
>>8696260
does it decay at all or is that just a meme?
>>8696218
Yes it is.
>>8696260
who else /bismuth/ here?
>>8697312
bismuth in da house
What what
>>8696194
Carbon, does your element have an entire field of chemistry dedicated to it?
>>8697368
actually yes it does
>>8696194
Aluminum
>>8696194
O. Without it, not a one of us would survive more than a few minutes.
But I'll trade you my Ac for your O2.
>>8696194
Gold

It has actually been proven that it decays. It's just really fucking slow to do so.
Fluorine.

You can't just throw things together like that and hope for the best. The graphene itself could be useful given its strength and flexibility, but the carbon fiber and diamond wouldn't be useful. A bulletproof vest needs to not shatter and also needs to dispell the force of the bullet along with stop it. If the diamond survives the bullet impact, you now have a diamond moving with the force of the bullet into your soft body.

Osmium. It's almost as dense as most /sci/ posters.
>>8697368

Silicon
>>8696218
wat?
>>8696218
It's the hardest metal known to man newfag
>>8698660
Thats why you tie the diamonds around nanotubss so they dont fly loose
