Element 110 - no name has been proposed or accepted by lUPAC for element 110. This element was first synthesized in a November 1994 experiment by a multi-national team of scientists working at the Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt, Germany. The scientific teams were from the GSI (Heavy Ion Research Center), Darmstadt, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), Dubna, Russia, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia and the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. They used the nuclear reaction ° Pb ( Ni, n) 110. The longest half-life associated vdth this unstable element is 1.1 minute 10. 

This kind of experiment is easy to describe but very difficult to carry out. In fact, this research is carried out at only several laboratories in the world. One is the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research, in Dubna, Russia. The second is the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory at the University of California at Berkeley in the United States. The third is the Institute for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, Germany. All of these laboratories use large particle accelerators that cost millions of dollars. Dozens of scientists from many different countries work on each team. 

Experience with the Training of Technical Chemists at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany... 

He got a useful research experience at the Organic Chemistry Laboratory of Technische Hochschule, Darmstadt, Germany, working under the guidance of Prof Hans Neunhoeffer (1994-95). Currently, he is Full Professor of Organic Chemistry Department in the Urals States Technical University.
