Magnetic Transitions Unlock Cosmic Element Secrets | Science News
Scientists have cracked a cosmic mystery: a hidden magnetic process inside atomic nuclei that explains how supernovae and neutron star collisions create the heaviest elements. After years of puzzling over an unexpected gamma-ray surplus called the low-energy enhancement, a global team used cutting-edge tech at FRIB to pinpoint magnetic transitions as the culprit. Their breakthrough, centered on zinc-70, not only solves a decades-old puzzle but also refines astrophysical models for how gold, platinum, and more are forged in the universe.
