History

Dubnium was reportedly first discovered in 1968 at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research at Dubna. Researchers there bombarded an americium-243 target with neon-22 ions. In the same year, a team led by Albert Ghiorso working at the University of California, Berkeley conclusively synthesized the element by bombarding a californium-249 target with nitrogen-15 ions. Named after the Russian town of Dubna

Discoverers	A. Ghiorso, et al
Discovery Location	United States
Discovery Year	1970
Etymology (Name Origin)	Named after the city of Dubna, the site of the JINR.
Pronunciation	HA-ni-em (English)

Dubnium is harmful due to its radioactivity

The Berkeley team proposed the name hahnium for the element

Uses

Dubnium is used for scientific research purposes only. It has no significant commercial applications.

Sources

Made by bombarding californium-249 with a beam of nitrogen-15
