An element of higher atomic number than uranium [i.e., greater than 92], not found naturally, and produced by nuclear bombardment. The highest discovered are 105 and 106. They are all radioactive. 4, record 1, English, - transuranic%20elements

The term ["transuranic element"] originally referred to the actinides beyond uranium, but following the discovery of elements beyond 103 (lawrencium) it covers elements beyond the actinides. The highest element so far established is hahnium (105), but tentative claims for the existence of 112 have been made. 5, record 1, English, - transuranic%20elements

Éléments dont le numéro atomique est supérieur à 92 et qui sont situés au-delà de l'uranium dans la classification périodique des éléments. Ils n'existent pas dans la nature et sont produits artificiellement dans les réacteurs nucléaires ou les accélérateurs par exemple. 3, record 1, French, - transuraniens
