Bojničky (Hungarian: Bajmócska) is a village and municipality in Hlohovec District in the Trnava Region of western Slovakia.
History
In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1113.
Titanium oxide was independently rediscovered in 1795 by Prussian chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth in rutile from Boinik (the German name of Bajmócska), a village in Hungary (now Bojničky in Slovakia).[4] Klaproth found that it contained a new element and named it for the Titans of Greek mythology. After hearing about Gregor's earlier discovery, he obtained a sample of manaccanite and confirmed that it contained titanium.
