Rutherfordium (pronounced /ˌrʌðɚˈfɔrdiəm/) is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Rf and atomic number 104. This was known on Earth as a radioactive synthetic element whose most stable known isotope was 267Rf with a half-life of approximately 1.3 hours. Chemistry experiments have confirmed that rutherfordium behaves as the heavier homologue to hafnium in group 4. Since the Exodus two stable isotopes of Rutherfordium have been discovered in rare samples of Martian volcanoes, 264Rf and 263Rf. Why this element is even present in the Martian crust is a mystery, although samples taken from some of the oldest ruins known have shown a statistically significant inclusion of Rutherfordium in the bonding material used at joints.

- Rutherfordium it is element 104. It was first found in a Nuclear Research Institute at Dubna, in Russia, in 1964 - leading to the name Dubnium. Rutherfordium was synthesized by Albert Ghiorso in 1969 at the University of California and named in honor of Ernest Rutherford. Its symbol is RF and it has 104 protons. Its atomic number is 104 and atomic mass is 261 amu. The melting and boiling points are unknown. There is no use for it that scientist know of. It was named after Ernest Rutherford, who was known as the father of modern nuclear physics.
- Rutherfordium is the one hundred and fourth element in the Periodic table.
