An Australian man described as a "science nerd" may face jail time, after attempting to collect all the elements in the ...

Plutonium, a radioactive element, is produced when uranium, another radioactive element, absorbs neutrons, and most of it is artificially produced, except for a small amount found in uranium ore.

Heavy ligands such as polyoxometalates are opening a new frontier in actinide chemistry. Studying materials that are both ...

A 24-year-old Australian man could go to jail for ten years as he prepares to plead guilty for importing plutonium from a ...

John Sutton described his client as an “innocent collector” and “science nerd”, claiming Lidden “did not import or possess ...

Deep-sea samples reveal traces of past cosmic explosions, prompting researchers to seek further proof in lunar soil.

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

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 ...

Instead, they rely on the radioactive decay of elements to produce heat and eventually electricity. While this concept sounds ...

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 ...
