The element 118, Oganesson, which currently holds the last position in the periodic table has been first synthesized in 2002 and added to the periodic table in 2015 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oganesson).
Will there be any serious claims this year that a new element with a higher atomic number is synthesized? The claim has to be published in a peer-reviewed journal and mentioned on the relevant Wikipedia's page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_periodic_table#Searches_for_undiscovered_elements
