Dr. Rohn, a well known and professional scientist in the 1850's was performing an experiment on electron particles and gamma rays. When the gamma rays were reflected off the electron particles it produced a purple gas, upon further investigation Dr. Rohn realized this substance was never recorded before in history, so he published the gas and his other findings in "Scientific Weekly" a highly revered, and respected Science Magazine. He won a Nobel prize for his discovery and decided to name the gas Xenon in honor of his daughter.
