What do we need to know about recent discoveries of elements?

I don't really know...
But I think we gotta be able to name a few, state who discovered them, how they were produced, date etc

EDIT: Ok, got some

Atomic number 95 - Americium - 1944 - Seaborg, James, Morgan and Ghiorso, prepared by irradiating plutonium with neutrons during the Manhattan project

Atomic number 99 - Einsteinium - 1952 - Ghiorso - Formed in the first thermonuclear explosion in 1952 by irradiation of uranium with neutronsand kept secret.......

Atomic number 101 - Mendelevium - 1955 - Ghiorso, Harvey, CHoppin, Thompson, Seaborg, prepared by bombardment of einsteinium with helium

I think know ONE in detail, such as Darmstadtium; how it is produced, when and where it was discovered.

do you think 1940's and 50's is recent enough?

We don't need to know who discovered them, just what they are and how they are produced.
