Recently, a group of researchers at Berkeley managed to create Livermorium-290 using Titanium-50 instead of the Traditional Calcium-48. This is important due to the reason that as we create heavier elements, we need heavier starting elements to crash together with Calcium-48 to create them. This has a major flaw, as elements get heavier, their half-lives tend to get shorter. To create element 120, you would need fermium, which has a half-life of only about 100 days. At this point in time, it is just not feasible enough to create all the required Fermium without is all decaying before we get to use it. However, with Titanium-50, we can in theory combine it with Californium, which we can make enough of, to make element 120.
In theory, element 120 could be part of an island of stability. The island of stability is a theorized group of undiscovered elements ranging through the 120's. Unbinilium, or element 120, is could be part of this. The island of stability is theorized to have longer half-lives which would make it ideal to study or possibly even create new materials.
