| Due to its extremely short half-life, there's no reason for considering the effects of nobelium in the environment. |
|
| A group in Stockholm believed they had made it in 1957, and proposed the patriotic name nobelium, after the Swede Alfred Nobel. |
|
| However, only small amounts were produced as nobelium only has a half-life of 58 minutes. |
|
| As it is very unstable, synthetic nobelium has no practical applications, nor does it have any biological role. |
|
| Research hinted in 2006 that scientists can indeed deduce the shape of a nobelium nucleus by studying how it decays away. |
|
| Like other 'artificial' elements, the nobelium atoms were created by colliding a stream of lighter atoms with a target. |
|
| Among these exotics is mendelevium, after Dmitry I. Mendeleyev, the 19th-century Russian chemist who invented the periodic table, and nobelium, for the bestower of science's big prize. |
|
| No is the translingual symbol for the chemistry element nobelium. |
