The review is talking about the trends in researching for Super Heavy Elements

(SHEs), the methods for producing SHEs are cold fusion and hot fusion, using different

approaches to bombard the actinide targets. The details are great and very well

synthesized and cited. The materials are well put in place and informative.

252Cf, 249Bk, 254Es, are the numbers the isotopes of the molecule? I think you

should include this in your context memo, as well as elucidate, ephemeral, etc. These

words can use some definitions in the context memo. Overall, it looks complete as a

whole, the author can use some images for the elements, as well as images for the

techniques for the synthesis.
