| | It's Elemental - The Element Dubnium |
 | | In 1970, a group of scientists working at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, now known as the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, in Berkeley, California, bombarded atoms of californium-249 with ions of nitrogen-15, forming atoms of dubnium-260 and 4 free neutrons. |
 | | Dubnium's most stable isotope, dubnium-268, has a half-life of about 16 hours. |
 | | Due to the small amounts produced and its short half-life, there are currently no uses for dubnium outside of basic scientific research. |
