All salt is kosher. "Kosher salt" is a particular grade of salt, with coarse crystals, that is used for making meat kosher, and is also useful in cooking. It's no more kosher than any other kind of salt.

What is the scientific name for kosher salt?

"Kosher salt" is chemically the same as regular table salt, sodium chloride. It's not that the salt itself is kosher (it is, but so is just about any pure table salt). It's really more "koshering salt" ... suitable for use in salting meat to make it kosher (by removing the blood). Kosher salt is usually physically, not chemically, different from regular table salt. The grains tend to be larger and in the form of flat flakes rather than tiny cubes. Kosher salt usually contains no additives such as iodine (regular table salt is often sold with added iodine, usually labelled "iodized salt").
