From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaNobelium is a synthetic chemical element with symbol No and atomic number 102. It is named in honor of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite and benefactor of science. A radioactive metal, it is the tenth transuranic element and is the penultimate member of the actinide series.

Discovery	Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (1966)
Discovery of nobelium Nobelium was first reported in 1957 by the Nobel Institute in Stockholm, but the claim could not be reproduced. Confirmed synthesis came in 1966 by a team at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia, who bombarded uranium-238 with neon ions. Despite the disputed history the name was retained in honour of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel prizes.
