  That’s old stuff. We’re already creating new and exotic forms of matter in labs including anti-matter and recently the glueball.

  Several, most are highly radioactive and prone to rapid decay. Technically they occur naturally but don’t last long enough to be “found in nature.” If you’re looking for vibranium, you can stop looking, it won’t happen, but yes we have created new elements.
