Mc moscovium
Atomic 115 ── synthetic_superheavy ── Tier 1
No commercial production

No commercial production.

Moscovium has no commercial supply chain. It exists only as a research-only superheavy element synthesized in accelerator experiments, with discovery experiments at JINR Dubna and IUPAC recognition of the JINR-LLNL-ORNL collaboration in 2015. The accepted name "moscovium" and symbol "Mc" were formally approved by IUPAC in 2016.

The practical production route is fusion of calcium-48 beams with americium-243 targets at Dubna. NNDC's ENSDF dataset identifies Mc-290 as the longest-lived moscovium isotope currently established in the evaluated data, with a half-life of about 0.65 s. JINR's SHE Factory program was still actively generating new Mc decay statistics in 2021, underscoring that the element's "market" is pure nuclear-physics experimentation.
