Elements heavier than iron, such as gold and uranium, are primarily formed through neutron capture processes, specifically the rapid neutron capture process (r-process). The r-process, unlike the ...

Giant flares blasted out of supermagnetized stars called "magnetars" could forge planets' worth of gold and other heavy elements such as platinum and uranium. This is the conclusion of an ...
