Although mendelevium does not occur in nature, it was discovered in 1955 by Albert Ghiorso, Bernard G. Harvey, Gregory R. Choppin, Stanley G. Thompson, and Glenn T. Seaborg at the University of California in Berkeley as a product resulting from helium-ion bombardment of einsteinium-253. | Uses - no known uses |
