Yes. We continue to make new elements on the heavy side of the periodic table. They are very unstable and last for very short periods of time. Some people theorise that there might be a group of very heavy elements that are stable and can exist for longer than a few seconds. This theoretical part of the periodic table is called "the island of stability."
