Here's How Radioactive 'Snowflakes' Behave Like the Smallest Nuclear Bombs in the World!
Close Small snowflakes of radioactive uranium that causes huge nuclear explosions may clarify some of the world's more bizarre star blasts. (Photo : Peter Dopper) Death of the Miniature Stars As miniature stars die, they cool into husks of their old selves called white dwarfs. A recent study suggests that atoms of uranium sink to the core of these aging white dwarf stars as they cool, icing into snowflake-like crystals no larger than grains of sand. Illinois State University's theoretical physicist and study co-author Matt Caplan explained that these snowflakes can function as many of the t...
