Predictions by GSI scientists now confirmed: Heavy elements in neutron star mergers detected

Central predictions by GSI scientists on the formation of heavy elements such as gold and platinum in the universe have now been observed astrophysically. For the first time gravitational waves of merging neutron stars were detected. This also puts further focus on the future accelerator facility FAIR, as conditions for further research on neutron stars Read more about Predictions by GSI scientists now confirmed: Heavy elements in neutron star mergers detected[…]
