In a press release, Gold Hydrogen says the three investors will help develop the regional market for low-carbon hydrogen. The ...

The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times ...

European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope took photos a rare supernova roughly 300 years after it happened ...

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

A new method uses helium droplets combined with ultrashort laser pulses to trigger chemical reactions in a controlled way.

Population III (PopIII) stars represent astronomy's ultimate prize: the first generation of stars born from the pristine hydrogen and helium created in the Big Bang. These theoretical giants, ...

For the first time, a research team led by Markus Koch from the Institute of Experimental Physics at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) has tracked in real time how individual atoms combine to ...

Helium is one of the least reactive elements on the periodic table. Like the other noble gases, helium doesn’t gain or lose electrons easily and so does not normally form chemical compounds.

Heavier elements, one atom at a time In 1955, mendelevium (101) was formed by bombardment of einsteinium-253 with a beam of helium-4 ions (alpha particles). The successful identification of ...

Helium is crucial to all kinds of technologies, including MRI scanners and semiconductors. But it’s produced in only a few places.
