Element Lawrencium, Lr

In 1961 by Ghiorso et al., bombarding Californium with boron ions at the Berkeley Laboratory of the University of California, obtained a new transuranium element which belonged to actinoids family and suggested the name lawrencium in honor of E.O. Lawrence, the inventor of the cyclotron and founder of the Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley where so much of the transuranium research has been carried out.
