Hassium, formerly known as unniloctium or eka-osmium is an artificial  
element; from wikipedia:
<<The element was first observed in 1984. Several isotopes are known with  
269Hs being the longest-lived with a half-life of ~10 s. There is also  
tentative evidence for an isotope 277bHs with a measured half-life of  
~16.5 minutes, which would make it one of the longest-lived superheavy  
nuclides. More than 100 atoms of hassium have been synthesized to date in  
various cold and hot fusion reactions, both as a parent nucleus and decay  
product.>>

If anybody had a pseudopotential for it, it would be by far the element  
with the highest ratio for the number of available pseudopotentials over  
the number of available atoms. Honestly, I doubt there is any serious  
application for it in the field of condensed matter physics.
