Normally, these rare isotopes only exist in stars or during events such as star mergers or supernovae, all of which lead to nucleosynthesis — the process in which lighter nuclei are used as building ...

Explore the surprising findings of helium presence in volcanic eruptions and its implications on geological and chemical processes deep inside the Earth.

Normally, these rare isotopes only exist in stars or during events such as star mergers or supernovae, all of which lead to nucleosynthesis—the process in which lighter nuclei are used as ...

We are the Universe trying to understand itself. How, and why, did we come to be? Why does the Universe take the shape it ...

Notably, this includes understanding the chain of fusion events, or nucleosynthesis, that occurs in stars, and how this can be detected from a distance by measuring the radiation these processes ...

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in partnership with NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), has developed ...

In recognition of this year’s campuswide Women’s History Month theme, “Empowerment Echoes: Celebrating Women Who Advocate and ...

Given the importance of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis for cosmology, in this online EuCAPT workshop we will bring the key experts on BBN to give an overview of the current status of the field and discuss ...

Abstract: The neutrino-driven wind from proto-neutron stars is a proposed site for r-process nucleosynthesis, although most previous work has found that a wind heated only by neutrinos cannot produce ...

Nuclear forces also guide how atoms evolve in stars, where new elements can be created through fusion. This process, called nucleosynthesis, powers the production of heavier atoms that eventually ...
