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 ...

Physicists at the University of Surrey measured nuclear reactions that can happen in neutron star collisions, giving direct ...

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 ...

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.

This rare form of helium is called helium-3 because it has two protons and one neutron in its nucleus. Normal helium, which is 700,000 times more common than helium-3, is called helium-4 because ...
