'''Mendelevium''' is a [[radioactive]] element with the [[atomic number]] of 101 that was discovered by Stanley Thompson, Albert Ghiorso, Bernard Harvey, Gregory Choppin and [[Glenn Seaborg]] at the [[University of California, Berkeley]] in 1955. It has not been produced outside of a laboratory setting, and thus has no practical uses. <ref>http://education.jlab.org/itselemental/ele101.html</ref>
