1996

After many years of disputes over names, IUPAC publishes the definitive list of the latest elements discovered (in the last thirty years): 104 Rutherfordium, 105 Dubnium, 106 Seaborgium, 107 Bohrium, 108 Hassium, 109 Meitnerium. Then the ball will be passed to the Germans in Darmstadt, who will produce 110 Darmstadtium, 111 Roentgenium, and 112 Copernicium between 1994 and 1996. Then in 2006, a joint Russian-American group in Dubna will manage to produce three atoms of 118 (Organesson), and the same group will also produce 113 Nihonium, 114 Flevorium, 115 Moscovium, 116 Livermorium, and 117 Tennessine.
