These superheavy elements can then undergo fission to split down into lighter, stable elements like gold. In 2020, Mumpower predicted how the "fission fragments" of r-process-created nuclei would ...

A new method uses gold to assemble multi-element nanoparticles under mild conditions, offering improvements in catalytic activity and long-term stability. ( Nanowerk Spotlight ) The drive to engineer ...
