Heavy Elements News Today

Astounding research suggests our biological makeup is star-spun.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have confirmed that neutron star mergers forge heavy elements like gold.

Scientists have brought the stars 'down to Earth' by creating 5 new isotopes that could reveal how heavy elements like gold are created when neutron stars smash together.

Actinides are often forgotten at the bottom of the periodic table, but they made Oak Ridge famous. Samantha Schrell is unlocking their many powers.

Scientists have developed a new method to model the signs of neutron stars colliding, which can create heavy elements like gold.

From scorching hot Jupiters to worlds that seem to be a little like Earth, here are 2023's most exciting exoplanet finds.
