Discovery of element 106
Glenn Seaborg and Albert Ghiorso of the University of California at Berkeley discuss their discovery of element 106 by bombarding Californium 249 with postively charged oxygen ions. They also comment on their attempts to synthesize even heavier elements and on the possibility of discovering the "superheavy" elements with an atomic number of more than 110. Edward Anders discusses evidence from meteors that points to the one-time existence of elements with atomic numbers over 110. He comments on research that revealed that a heavy isotope of Xenon was discharged from a portion of the heated meteorite. This, along with the constituent mineral of the meteorite, seems to be the "signature" of an element with an atomic number of 112, 113, or 114.
