 | | History: The credit for discovery of bohrium is given to the Laboratory for Heavy Ion Research - the Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung (GSI) - in Darmstadt, Germany in 1981, despite a claim made by scientists at the JINR in the USSR in 1976, whose evidence was weak. |
 | | In 1992 the two groups conferred on naming the new element and decided on nielsbohrium, which had been rejected for element 105, and shortened it to bohrium. |
 | | In 2000, the chemical characterization of bohrium was finally carried out at the Paul Scherrer Laboratory in Berne, Switzerland. |
