Enriched Lithium is a critical ingredient in fusion reactors. Making it is a toxic nightmare, but scientists may have found a ...

Which stars form which elements, and how those elements form, is what stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis aims to understand. Stellar evolution looks at how stars change their structure and ...

Electrostatic repulsion gives way to the pressure, breaking the Coulomb barrier and fusing two nuclei into one in a process called stellar nucleosynthesis. The energy that had been holding the ...

The detailed understanding of these interactions aids in improving models for neutron generation and sheds light on cosmic nucleosynthesis processes. Traditional models have struggled to ...
