This opens up the possibility of countless new isotopes that could be used in till-now unthinkable ways. Though it may sound as though I’m counting chickens that haven’t been conceived, let alone hatched, consider what this implies:

With the proper of amount of force [and acceleration, collision, etc.] we may be able to produce elements that previously only occurred naturally. Could mass-production of these elements be possible?
