Meitnerium was first synthesized by research scientists led by Peter Armbruster and Gottfried Münzenber at the Heavy Ion Research Laboratory in Darmstadt, Germany in 1982. Meitnerium was produced when bismuth-209 was bombarded with accelerated iron-58 nuclei. The element was named after physicist Lise Meitner. Meitnerium is harmful due to its radioactivity. Meitnerium is a synthetic, radioactive metal and has only been produced in tiny amounts. Meitnerium is a synthetic radioactive metal, created via nuclear bombardment, and has only been produced in minute amounts. Meitnerium was produced by bombarding 209Bi with 58Fe which produced a single atom of the isotope 266Mt. Meitnerium has 7 isotopes whose half-lives are known, with mass numbers
