[169] [170] Hafnium was the last stable element to be discovered (noting however the difficulties regarding the discovery of rhenium). 43 Technetium: 1937 C. Perrier and E. Segrè: 1937: C. Perrier & E. Segrè: The two discovered a new element in a molybdenum sample that was used in a cyclotron, the first element to be discovered by synthesis ...
At the time of their discovery, there was an element naming controversy as to what (particularly) the elements from 102 to 109 were to be called. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] At last, a committee of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) resolved the dispute and adopted one name for each element.
Suffixes were used more inconsistently before 1784, with tungsten (discovered 1783) the last element discovered whose English name lacks a standard suffix. [41] The naming rules promulgated by IUPAC in 2002 declared that all newly discovered elements should have names ending in -ium, for linguistic consistency. [40]

So, element 105 was named dubnium, and element 106 was named seaborgium. The elements were placed in the periodic table’s seventh row, which is above the row of lanthanides and the row of actinides.
The German group at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt, who had (undisputedly) discovered elements 107 to 109, were dragged into the controversy when the Commission suggested that the name "hahnium", proposed for element 105 by the Americans, be used for GSI's element 108 instead.
Promethium, which has the symbol Pm, was the last rare-earth element of the lanthanide series to be discovered. According to Wikipedia, most promethium-147 is utilized for research.
However, the first element to be discovered by synthesis rather than in nature was technetium in 1937.) The row was completed with the synthesis of tennessine in 2010 [76] (the last element oganesson had already been made in 2002), [77] and the last elements in this seventh row were given names in 2016.
