Dubnium is a Transition Metal in group 5. It has a Body centered cubic crystalline structure. It does not have any isotopes considered to be natural. Its longest-lived known isotope has an atomic number of 262 with a half life of 34 seconds. This element has no stable isotopes. Scientists use it in research into nuclear properties. Some bulk properties have been predicted, such as a density of 29 grams per cubic centimeter. There is no practical use for such properties. However, it is conceivable that the measurement could be made with necessarily microscopic specks of dubnium very quickly prepared. The specks could be shot through inert gas at targets. The use of high speed recording equipment is familiar to nuclear researches so conducting the experiments and recording them entirely within a small fraction of a second might be possible.

There was a controversy over naming dubnium. American and Soviet scientists contributed to the research establishing the properties of dubnium. Americans supported by allies wanted the name hahnium. Soviets supported by allies wanted the name nielsbohrium. The name dubnium was adopted in 1997.
