Magnetar flares, colossal cosmic explosions, may be directly responsible for the creation and distribution of heavy elements across the universe, suggests a new study.

A study reveals magnetar flares could contribute to creating heavy elements like gold and uranium, adding to the previously ...

Former Pakistani minister, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, had claimed that Pakistan possessed "tactical nuclear weapons" as light as 125 to 250 grams, designed for battlefield use.

Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars. These mergers are known to generate gravitational waves, energy-carrying ...

The prevailing scientific view is that neutron star collisions created gold and other heavy elements, but one study has now pointed to another tantalizing theory behind the metals’ formation.

Curved neutron Airy beams have been generated for the first time using a custom diffraction grating, enabling neutrons to follow parabolic paths, resist spreading, and self-heal after encountering ...
