Who holds the @guinnessworldrecords for discovering or co-discovering the most chemical elements?
Albert Ghiorso! Today is his birthday.
For those 12 elements, Ghiorso identified roughly one element every three years for over thirty years. He worked with particle accelerators and Nobel prize @nobelprize_org winning scientists at @berkeleylab. There he invented methods and machines for isolating and identifying the elements that now occupy positions 95 to 106 on the Periodic Table. The results of his work contributed to advances in nuclear science, chemistry, and the development of innovative technology, such as new types of detectors and accelerators.
Can you name some of the chemical elements attributed to Ghiorso?
