History and Uses:

First produced in 1976 by scientists working at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia, and later confirmed in 1981 by Peter Armbruster, Gottfried M�nzenber and their team working at the Gesellschaft f�r Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, Germany, bohrium was produced by bombarding a target of bismuth-209 with ions of chromium-54.

Bohrium's most stable isotope, bohrium-270, has a half-life of about 1 minute. It decays into dubnium-266 through alpha decay.

Since only a few atoms of bohrium have ever been made, there are currently no uses for bohrium outside of basic scientific research.
