Two years ago astronomers for the first time observed the collision of two neutron stars, which created gravitational waves and light and created heavy elements such as gold, platinum and lead. These ...
Measurements on neutron-rich nuclei help to refine models of how heavy elements came into existence Models for how heavy elements are produced within stars have become more accurate thanks to ...

Ghost Particles Could Boost Gold Production in Neutron Star Collisions
Neutron star collisions are known to be factories in which heavy elements are produced. The fusion that takes place inside ...
The collision and merger of two neutron stars—the incredibly dense remnants of collapsed stars—are some of the most energetic ...
Understanding the origin of heavy elements on the periodic table is one of the most challenging open problems in all of physics. In the search for conditions suitable for these elements via ...
Neutron star collisions do not create the quantity of chemical elements previously assumed, a new analysis of galaxy evolution finds. The research also reveals that current models can't explain the ...
Bits of the stars are all around us, and in us, too. About half of the abundance of elements heavier than iron originates in some of the most violent explosions in the cosmos. As the universe churns ...
Most chemical elements heavier than helium were born in the death throes of stars; the explosive energy of a supernova is responsible for generating most of the contents of the periodic table. Now, a ...
For the first time, a freshly made heavy element, strontium, has been detected in space, in the aftermath of a merger of two neutron stars. The detection confirms that the heavier elements in the ...
(CNN) — Two years ago astronomers for the first time observed the collision of two neutron stars, which created gravitational waves and light and created heavy elements such as gold, platinum and lead ...
