The explosion released elements heavier than iron—like gold and platinum—through a process known as rapid neutron capture ...

Do we inhabit a cosmic wasteland teeming with remnants of massive stellar explosions? Recent research proposes that approximately 10 million years ago, Earth and its Moon were bombarded by debris from ...

Plutonium discovered at the bottom of the ocean was found to be refuse from a kilonova that exploded close to Earth 10 million years ago. Kilonovas occur when binary neutron stars spiral closer and ...

"We live in a supernova graveyard," he stated, alluding to the remnants of supernova explosions that have managed to settle into Earth’s ocean depths. It's a captivating notion that these cosmic ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured a weak r-process reaction using a radioactive ion beam, shedding light ...

Neutron star mergers emit visible light (in the subsequent kilonova explosion) and other electromagnetic radiation in addition to gravitational waves. “Rapid and accurate analysis of the gravitational ...

Neutron star mergers emit visible light (in the subsequent kilonova explosion) and other electromagnetic radiation in addition to gravitational waves. "Rapid and accurate analysis of the ...

Why is real-time computation important? Neutron star mergers emit visible light (in the subsequent kilonova explosion) and other electromagnetic radiation in addition to gravitational waves ...

According to the team, the new method could one day help to observe electromagnetic signals produced before and during the merger of two neutron stars. This could provide new insights into the ...
