  It's Elemental - The Element Rutherfordium
They bombarded atoms of plutonium-242 with ions of neon-22, forming what they believed to be atoms of rutherfordium-260 and four free neutrons.
Rutherfordium's most stable isotope, rutherfordium-267, has a half-life of about 1.3 hours and decays through spontaneous fission.
Due to the small amounts produced and its short half-life, there are currently no uses for rutherfordium outside of basic scientific research.

The syntheses of at least 10 isotopes of rutherfordium, with half-lives ranging from 0.5 msec (Rf-254) to 65 sec (Rf-261), have been confirmed.
In 1994 a committee of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), convened to resolve naming disputes for the transactinide elements, recommended that element 104 be named dubnium in recognition of the work done at the Dubna laboratory.
The committee also recommended that element 106, which had been called seaborgium by the American team that discovered it, be called rutherfordium.

Rutherfordium was named “unnilquadium,” which is the Latin word code for 104 (un = 1, nil = 0, and quad = 4).
For rutherfordium, it concluded: “The chemical experiments in Dubna [published in 1969 and 1970] and the Berkeley experiments [published in 1969] were essentially contemporaneous and each show that element 104 had been produced.
In June 1995, the American Chemical Society decided to adopt the names rutherfordium and seaborgium for elements 104 and 106, respectively, for its journals and magazines.

 Ernest Rutherford - Scientist Supreme
The isotope of element 104 thus produced survived typically less than four seconds so could be uniquely identified by its half-life and the energy of the alpha particles it emitted in the process of spontaneous radioactive decay.
In November of 1969, at celebrations marking the centennial of Mendeleev, the father of the periodic table, Al Ghiorso proposed that element 104 be named rutherfordium (Rf) because Ernest Rutherford was one of his heroes.
As you read this there will most likely be not one atom of rutherfordium in existence, unless one of the three groups are painstakingly manufacturing it for further experiments.
