Albert Ghiorso, American Nuclear Chemist

Ghiorso with a bottle of "ghiorsium", December 21, 1956. Before the retraction in 2002, the researchers from Berkeley had intended to name the element ghiorsium (Gh), after Ghiorso. No name has yet been officially suggested for the element 118 as no claims for discovery have yet been accepted by the IUPAC. Albert Ghiorso (July 15, 1915 - December 26, 2010) was an American nuclear chemist. In the early 1940s, Glenn Seaborg moved to Chicago to work on the Manhattan Project. He invited Ghiorso to join him, and for the next four years Ghiorso developed sensitive instruments for detecting the radiation associated with nuclear decay. After the war, Seaborg and Ghiorso returned to Berkeley, where they and colleagues used the 60" Crocker cyclotron to produce elements of increasing atomic number by bombarding exotic targets with helium ions. He is credited with having co-discovered the following elements: Americium, Curium, Berkelium, Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium, Lawrencium, Rutherfordium, Dubnium, and Seaborgium. He died in 2010 at the age of 95.
