Theoretically, it is possible to discover a new stable element, but the conditions for such a discovery are complicated. Creating a stable element requires the stability of the atomic nucleus, which in turn depends on the appropriate ratio of protons and neutrons.

Modern methods of discovering new elements involve experiments with bombarding heavy atomic nuclei with particles to obtain an object with a higher atomic number. However, the larger the atomic number, the more unstable the nucleus, which makes it difficult to maintain a stable element.

In recent years, a team of scientists from the Oak Ridge Laboratory announced a theoretical possible discovery of a new element with an atomic number of 119, but this discovery has not yet been experimentally confirmed.

Final confirmation of the existence of a new stable element requires precise research and replication of results by independent laboratories. Discovering new elements is a complex process, and eventual new discoveries will likely be rare and require advanced research.
