Scientist like to explore the atom and subatomic structure. To do this they bombard other atoms with each other and smaller particles in cyclotrons and nuclear reactors etc. This results in new atoms and species. Scientists will continue to try and produce heavier and larger and new species - just because. There is also a chance if a scientist produces enough of these they will get an element named after themselves. Now that is cool for a legacy - and very motivating.
