This Month in Lab History…Lawrencium Added to Periodic Table

Fifty-two years ago this month, Lab scientist Albert Ghiorso did something very few scientists ever get to – he added an element to the periodic table. In this image Ghiorso (second from left) inscribes “Lw” in space 103 of the periodic table as co-discoverers look on. Lawrencium (Lw) was first synthesized Feb. 14, 1961, by a team led by Ghiorso, who was co-discoverer of a record 12 chemical elements on the periodic table.More>

  1. Al Ghiorso was the most deserving person to win a Nobel Prize for discovering new elements. Many of us believe he didn’t win one because he never “earned” a PhD. He remained active in science into his 90’s and worked closely with the late Mike Nitschke, who worked with Al to develop the SuperHILAC. Mike went on to pioneer the ideas that led to the RHIC facility at Brookhaven and FRIB at MSU. Both Ghiorso and Nitschke were giants at LBL who will never get the recognition they deserved. Thanks for reminding us about Al Ghiorso again.
