Technetium is quite an interesting element and has just as interesting of a history. Many had tried to discover it and failed, and this is because of how unstable all of its isotopes are. The only way to discover the element was to make it ourselves, and that was finally done in 1937. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
