Fermium was first identified in debris from a hydrogen bomb test in 1953 by this group of scientists:
Albert Ghiorso, Stanley G. Thompson, Gary H. Higgins, Glenn T. Seaborg, Martin H. Studier, P.R. Fields, Sherman M. Fried, H. Diamond, J.F. Mech, G.L. Pyle, John R. Huizenga, A. Hirsch, W.M. Manning, C.I. Browne, H. Louise Smith, R.W. Spence in USA.
The name fermium is derived from the name of the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi.

∙ 13y agoIt is named for Italian-American scientist Enrico Fermi. (1901-1954). As part of the Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb, Fermi led the group that achieved the world's first controlled, self-sustaining fission reaction on December 2, 1942, at the University of Chicago.
Fermi did a great deal of work on the reactions which were used to synthesize fermium in the laboratory in 1952, making the name particularly suitable.
