 Historical Information

A team working in Stockholm reported in 1957 an isotope whose atomic number is 102. They made this isotope by bombardment of 244Cm with 13C ions. They named the element nobelium after Alfred Nobel. In 1958 a group at Berkeley, California, USA reported that they were unable to reproduce this work, findings agreed by a Russian group at Dubna.
