Lawrencium was discovered in 1961 by Albert Ghiorsio. It is a synthetic. Element numbered 103 in the Periodic Table and was produced by bombarding various isotopes of californium with boron^10 and boron^11 atoms. It has only been produced in miniscule quantities for scientific research applications only. It has no practical application for 2 reasons:- 1. It is radioactive properties. 2. It is an unstable element with a short half life; its longest lived isotope, ^262Lr has a half life of 216 minutes. You could not find it outside of a laboratory.

Lawrencium is a highly radioactive and rare element that is not found naturally on Earth. It is produced in nuclear reactors by bombarding lighter elements with charged particles. Only small amounts of lawrencium have been produced, making it one of the rarest elements on Earth.
