Physicists propose that high-energy photon jets from collapsing stars may be secret factories of heavy elements like ...

In an ejection that would have caused its rotation to slow, a magnetar is depicted losing material into space in this ...

A brilliant flash from deep space once baffled scientists. But now, that mystery has been solved—and it reshapes what we know ...

A study gives clues to cosmic origin of gold and heavy elements, and they were created earlier than we thought.

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has revealed that some of the universe’s brightest light sources originate near supermassive black holes in galaxy centres. These active galactic nuclei ...

Scientists propose that magnetars, highly magnetic neutron stars, could be the source of early heavy elements like gold.

The universe began with mostly hydrogen, helium, and tiny amounts of lithium. Heavier elements came later, forged in stars ...

Analyzing old space data, researchers found gamma-ray signals from magnetar flares ... Such a process results when atomic nuclei capture neutrons at a swift rate, gaining mass and transforming ...

Although our universe is mostly normal matter, antimatter isn’t so hard to create — supernovae, black holes, and even bananas ...
