75 years after the discovery of the element astatine , a new species, AtO(OH) 2 − , is observed by means of a joint theory/experimental study. This species predominates in aqueous solutions, and completes the astatine Pourbaix diagram. The picture highlights the main breakthroughs concerning this element, seen to arise from a black hole symbolizing the difficulty obtaining information on this enigmatic element. More information can be found in the Full Paper by N. Galland, G. Montavon et al. on page 2964 ff.
