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.

Using a combination of transmission electron microscopy, grazing-incidence diffraction, neutron and X-ray reflectometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we characterize the nanocomposite films ...

Vanar Chain is launching Neutron, an AI-native blockchain layer with data compression ratios of up to 500:1, which can reduce a standard 25 megabyte file to just 50 kilobytes, transforming it into ...

A star’s collapse into a black hole might create a neutron-rich jet powerful enough to forge the universe’s heaviest elements—no neutron star collision required. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Physicists ...

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars' surface gravities are so intense that the largest "mountains" are only a ...

We don't really know, but probably some truly bizarre physics. Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars are the ...

Look out SpaceX… Rocket Lab’s (NASDAQ:RKLB) Launch Services division is nipping at your heels to get in on the lucrative satellite launch business with its Neutron rocket, designed to compete ...

"There are only a few viable yet rare scenarios in the cosmos where these elements can form, and all such locations need a copious amount of neutrons. We propose a new phenomenon where those ...
