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

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

Spacecraft suffered helium leaks and thruster issues that extended the astronauts’ stay on the International Space Station by ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Researchers found that helium can bond with iron under extreme pressure, suggesting vast helium reserves in Earth’s core. This challenges existing models of planetary formation and hints at Earth’s ...

Upon approaching the ISS, the Starliner encountered issues, including the shutdown of five thrusters—critical for manoeuvring—and a depletion of its helium supply. The spacecraft was then forced to ...

Released in late 2023, Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 1 was a promising but ultimately frustrating, buggy, and visually lacklustre effort from Konami. However, the good news is that ...

Primordial helium from the beginning of the solar system may be stuck inside Earth's solid core, new research suggests. The findings could have implications for a long-standing debate about how ...

The discovery that helium and iron can mix at the temperatures and pressures found at the center of Earth could settle a long-standing debate over how our planet formed.

Scientists discovered a massive clone specimen of seaweed a known as bladderwrack along the coast of Sweden, stretching some 310 miles. Bladderwrack can propagate both sexually and asexually, and ...

Helium, used to pressurize rocket fuel systems, is often a source of technical complications. However, a team of Chinese scientists has managed to harness its properties to increase the efficiency of ...
