Re: who discovered 106 seaborgium or unnlhexlum

Most modern discoveries of new elements are done by teams of researchers rather 
than individuals.  For Seaborgium-106, the following reference reviews the 
discovery.

     http://www.lbl.gov/LBL-Science-Articles/Archive/seaborgium.html

But, per the following reference, Unnilhexium (just the technical name for 
Element 106 - name used until the element is named) may still be just Element 
106 as there was concern about naming the element after a living person.

Thanks for your question.
