| | C&EN: TODAY'S HEADLINES - ELEMENT 110 NAMED DARMSTADTIUM |
 | | Darmstadtium was synthesized by a team of seven GSI researchers, including Hofmann, and six guest scientists from the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia; the department of nuclear physics, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia; and the department of physics, University of Jyväskylä, in Finland [ |
 | | The team created the element by directing a high-energy beam of nickel-62 atoms generated from the GSI heavy-ion accelerator, known as UNILAC, at lead-208 targets on the circumference of a wheel rotating at 1,125 rpm. |
 | | GSI is the birthplace of six transfermium elements: bohrium (atomic number 107), hassium (108), and meitnerium (109) in 1981, 1984, and 1982, respectively; darmstadtium; and the yet-to-be-named elements 111 and 112 in 1994 and 1996, respectively. |
