Bohrium: The Edge of the Periodic Table

A deep dive into Bohrium, element 107: its lab-created birth in the 1970s, how scientists confirmed its existence, and the famous naming debate. We unpack isotopes, the six-atom chemical experiment, and Bohrium’s surprisingly normal chemistry for a superheavy element—plus the relativistic quirks that could upend our ideas about the periodic table. A story of precision, controversy, and the hunt to push chemistry to heavier frontiers.
