Hafnium was discovered by Dirk Coster and Georg von Hevesy in 1923 in Copenhagen, Denmark
Hafnium was discovered in 1923 by Dirk Coster and George Charles von Hevesey. Niels Bohr however was the first scientist who predicted its existence. Hope that helps!
Dirk Coster was born in 1889.
Hafnium was discovered by Dirk Coster and Von Hevesy in zirconium minerals after X-ray spectrometric analysis.
It was discovered by Dirk Coster and Georg von Hevesy in 1923 in Copenhagen, Denmark, validating the original 1869 prediction of Mendeleev.
Marc de Coster died on July 24, 2012, in Manhattan, New York, USA of cancer.
Hafnium was discovered by Dirk Coster and György Karl von Hevesy in 1922, in Copenhagen (Denmark), analyzing by X-ray spectrometry minerals containing zircon.
Wikipedia :Hafnium (pronounced /ˈhæfniəm/, HAF-nee-əm) is a chemical element with the symbol Hf and atomic number 72. A lustrous, silvery gray, tetravalent transition metal, hafnium chemically resembles zirconium and is found in zirconium minerals. Its existence was predicted by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. Hafnium was the penultimate stable isotope element to be discovered (rhenium was identified two years later). Hafnium was found by Dirk Coster and Georg von Hevesy in 1923 in Copenhagen, Denmark, and named Hafnia after the Latin name for "Copenhagen".
Dirk Harvey was born on February 27, 1923, in Illinois, USA.
Because Dirk Hartog was Dutch, the western half of the Australian continent was called "New Holland".
Dirk Hartog was blown onto the shores of Western Australia in 1616. However, he was not the one who discovered Australia. The Australian Aborigines and the Macassan sea traders from Asia had already discovered the continent.Hartog was not even the first European to discover Australia. He had been preceded in 1606 by Willem Jansz.
Dirk Hartog discovered what is now called Dirk Hartog Island, in Western Australia, at a point now named Cape Inscription.
