===Rutherfordium and dubnium===  
During the height of the [[Cold War]], teams from the [[Soviet Union]] and the United States independently created [[rutherfordium]] and [[dubnium]]. The naming and credit for synthesis of these elements remained [[Transfermium Wars|unresolved for many years]], but eventually, shared credit was recognized by [[IUPAC]]/[[IUPAP]] in 1992. In 1997, IUPAC decided to give dubnium its current name, honoring the city of [[Dubna]] where the Russian team worked since American-chosen names had already been used for many existing synthetic elements, while the name ''rutherfordium'' (chosen by the American team) was accepted for element 104.
