Techneticum was discovered in 1937 by Emila Segre and rarlo perrier. The discovery was actually made in italy using a sample of material sent to them by the university of california. The sample was made using the cyclotron at berkeley to bombard the element. Techneticum takes its names from the greek word teknetos. Which means "artificial."
