Most recently, a GSI-PSI collaboration has studied the nuclear reaction of curium-248 with magnesium-26 ions.

Between May 2001 and August 2005, the team has studied the excitation function of the 3n, 4n, and 5n evaporation channels leading to < sup > 269 </ sup > Hs, < sup > 270 </ sup > Hs, and < sup > 271 </ sup > Hs .< ref >" Decay properties of < sup > 269 </ sup > Hs and evidence for the new nuclide < sup > 270 </ sup > Hs ", Turler et al., GSI Annual Report 2001.
