Why did they form at that time? Astronomers know from observing distant exploding stars that the size of the universe has ...

A recent study has uncovered that giant magnetar flares may play a key role in generating rare elements such as gold and uranium, reshaping our understanding ...

“If you go to our sun, you have 15-million- [degree] temperatures,” Schweda explained. “The hottest stars [are] 100 million.

Uranium has civilian uses that have nothing to do with weapons. For a bomb, the uranium needs to be a lot more concentrated.

Massive stars create heavy elements from lighter ones through fusion, eventually forging an iron core over millions of years.

New research reveals that Earth's core is leaking gold. Precious metals are moving from the core to the mantle and crust.

It uses a technique called carbon dating, which has "revolutionised archaeology", winning its discoverer a Nobel Prize in 1960, French scientist Lucile Beck said.

Korenaga is Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Yale University. He tells Srijana Mitra Das at TE about how gold got to Earth:It’s a little surprising to connect to Jun Korenaga, not least ...

The neutrons are collimated to a narrow beam and are used in a translate-rotate scan of the sample. Pulsed beam time-of-flight techniques are used to measure neutron transmission through the sample.

High-energy photons produced deep in gamma-ray burst jets emerging from a collapsed star could dissolve the outer stellar layers into free neutrons, causing a series of physical processes that results ...

The team suggests that energetic photons generated by newly forming black holes or neutron stars transmute protons within ejected stellar material into neutrons, thereby providing ideal conditions for ...
