From the research that I did on them, no, Australia didn't discover any.

But I thought we do make them? At Lucas Heights Nuclear Reactor? And for stuff like Tc-99m, in hospitals? Because it has a half life of 6 hours.

Does anybody know at what atmospheric pressure the Ziegler-Natta process requires?

What's the name of yeast's enzymes that are used during fermentation?

I think you need to know that the Ziegler-Natta process to make polyethylene uses only a few times atmospheric pressure, which is a lot less than the older gas phase process which requires 1000-3000 times atmospheric.

It also only requires 60 degrees C, whereas the older process requires a much higher temperature (~300 degrees Celcius)
