How are chemical elements produced in our Universe? Where do heavy elements like gold and uranium come from? Using computer simulations, a research team shows that the synthesis of heavy elements is ...
An illustration of the neutron capture process. Credit: Carnegie Institution of Science. Astrophysics has managed to paint a pretty accurate picture of how the elements were formed. Hydrogen and ...
As though it wasn’t hard enough to memorize the names and atomic weights of 117 elements in the periodic table, scientists have now confirmed a new one. Researchers from Lund University in Sweden ...
Scientists believe that many of the elements found in the Universe that are heavier than iron are created when stars merge or explosively die, but they are still unsure about the cosmic origin of ...

Neutron-rich material is ejected from the disk, enabling the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process). The light blue region is a particularly fast ejection of matter, called a jet, which typically ...
