We present results form nuclear decays observed after the first chemical separation and characterization of element 108, hassium (Hs)[1,2]. Hs-269 and Hs-270 were synthesized at the UNILAC in hot-fusion reactions of Mg-26 + Cm-248, and were identified by observing genetically linked nuclear decays. Three chains originating from Hs-269 confirmed decay properties of the A=277 nuclide of element 112, observed in the discovery experiment, and they also exhibited a new picture of the Rf-261 decay. Two chains exhibited characteristics expected for the new N=162 shell-closure nuclide Hs-270. >From the measured decay energy of 9.16 MeV an alpha half-life of 3.6 s was estimated.
