There are some elements that are larger than Uranium in atomic size that occur naturally, however these are few and far between, and are usually very rare elements. Some synthetic elements can be created using an Atomic Collider, but when this happens, the atoms, which are almost certainly very radioactive and very unstable, will expire before proper studies can be made, due to a half life of >1 second.

Why are elements with atomic numbers higher than 92 referred to as transuranium elements?
the atomic number of uranium is 92. the elements after that is thus called trans-uranium (meaning after uranium)
What are the four elements smaller than uranium?
All the elements with the atomic number under 92 has atomic weights smaller than uranium.
Chemical elements with atomic numbers greater than that of uranium are called?
Transuranic elements
What elements are more valuable than gold?
Diamond and Uranium
What does elements with a higher atomic number than uranium have?
More electrons, protons, neutrons and a greater atomic weight.
How do you know that all of the new elements will be larger than uranium?
The atomic mass is greater.
How are elements with atomic masses greater than uranium made?
Elements that have greater atomic masses then uranium are created using nuclear fission.
Why are elements with atomic numbers higher than 92 referred to as transuranium elements?
the atomic number of uranium is 92. the elements after that is thus called trans-uranium (meaning after uranium)
What are the four elements smaller than uranium?
All the elements with the atomic number under 92 has atomic weights smaller than uranium.
What makes uranium lighter than other elements?
Uranium is not lighter but heavier than many of the other elements; the density of uranium is 19,05 g/cm3 and the atomic weight is 238,02891.
How were all the elements with atomic numbers higher than 92 created?
Elements that follow uranium are made or synthesized when nuclear particles are forced to crash into one and other.
What are transuranics?
transuranic elements are all elements with atomic numbers greater than 92, uranium is 92 so transuranic is past uranium
What is trans-uranium?
Transuranic elements are the elements with an atomic number greater than 92.
Chemical elements with atomic numbers greater than that of uranium are called?
Transuranic elements
What elements are more valuable than gold?
Diamond and Uranium
Why did Marie Curie discover polonium and radium?
Studying residues of uranium ores, Marie Curie and Pierre Curie found that these residues are more radioactive than uranium; they attributed this radioactivity to unknown elements. They isolated these elements and named these elements polonium and radium.
How did Pierre and Marie Curie discovered the presence of radioactive elements other than uranium?
Polonium and radium are discovered in wastes from uranium minerals, after uranium separation. The important radioactivity of these residues (without uranium) warned the two about the possible existence of other radioactive elements.
