The transuranium elements (also known as transuranic elements) are the chemical elements with atomic numbers greater than 92 (the atomic number of uranium). All of these elements are unstable and decay radioactively into other elements.
Overview
Of the elements with atomic numbers 1 to 92, all can be found in nature, having stable (such as hydrogen), or very long half-life (such as uranium) isotopes, or are created as common products of the decay of uranium and thorium (such as radon) — only technetium, of the elements below uranium, was man-made for its discovery in 1936.
All of the elements with higher atomic numbers have been first discovered in the laboratory, with neptunium and plutonium later also discovered in nature. They are all radioactive, with a half-life much shorter than the age of the Earth, so any atoms of these elements, if they ever were present at the Earth's formation, have long since decayed. Trace amounts of neptunium and plutonium form in some uranium-rich rock, and small amounts are produced during atmospheric tests of atomic weapons. These two elements are generated from neutron capture in uranium ore with subsequent beta decays (e.g. 238U + n → 239U → 239Np → 239Pu).

Adamantium, bolognium, dilithium. Element Zero, Kryptonite. Mythril, Netherite, Orichalcum, Unobtanium. We love the idea of fictional elements with miraculous properties that science has yet to discover. But is it really possible that new elements exist beyond the periodic table?

Darleane Hoffman, a nuclear chemist, chronicles the discovery of the heaviest elements — those much heavier than uranium and plutonium. Series: "Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Summer Lecture Series" [10/2006] [Science] [Show ID: 11834]
The transuranium elements (also known as transuranic elements) are the chemical elements with atomic numbers greater than 92 (the atomic number of uranium). All of these elements are unstable and decay radioactively into other elements.
Overview
Of the elements with atomic numbers 1 to 92, all can be found in nature, having stable (such as hydrogen), or very long half-life (such as uranium) isotopes, or are created as common products of the decay of uranium and thorium (such as radon) — only technetium, of the elements below uranium, was man-made for its discovery in 1936.
All of the elements with higher atomic numbers have been first discovered in the laboratory, with neptunium and plutonium later also discovered in nature. They are all radioactive, with a half-life much shorter than the age of the Earth, so any atoms of these elements, if they ever were present at the Earth's formation, have long since decayed. Trace amounts of neptunium and plutonium form in some uranium-rich rock, and small amounts are produced during atmospheric tests of atomic weapons. These two elements are generated from neutron capture in uranium ore with subsequent beta decays (e.g. 238U + n → 239U → 239Np → 239Pu).
The one rare earth element whose chemistry has been largely unknown is now less of a mystery ... Not so promethium, which is among the rarest elements on Earth, even behind some of the transuranics once thought not to exist until we made them.
It’s easy to wonder if we have discovered, or created, every element possible ... An element’s atomic number equals its proton count ... We’ve now made 26 of these “transuranic” elements ... Producing the first transuranic elements proved relatively easy.
There may be two transuranic elements, which don’t appear in nature because they decay far too quickly to have survived from their creation in supernovae or kilonovae that are liquid at room temperature.
HFIR has created gram quantities of californium and lesser amounts of berkelium and einsteinium, enabling the study of the three transuranic elements and their unique chemistry.
The plant primarily stores transuranic radioactive waste (TRU waste), which includes materials contaminated with man-made elements heavier than uranium, such as plutonium.
In the 1930s, their work together continued with the investigation of transuranic elements ... new, heavier elements called transuranics.Lise Meitner stands among other leading scientists in Berlin.

“Through further irradiation of transuranic elements separated at ORNL, superheavy elements such as tennessine, element 117, have been discovered, and more are coming,” Moyer later stated in an email.
