History
History | The element Nihonium was discovered by K. Morita et al.(RIKENin Wako, Japan) in year 2004 in Russia and United States. Nihonium derived its name from the Japanese name for Japan, Nihon, where the element was first synthesized. | The element Dysprosium was discovered by P.E.L. de Boisbaudran in year 1886 in France. Dysprosium derived its name from the Greek dysprositos, meaning 'hard to get'. |
