Large atoms require a lot of energy to construct. A new model of quantum interactions now suggests that some of the lightest particles in the universe may play a crucial role in the formation of at least some heavy elements. Physicists in the US have shown how subatomic ‘ghost particles’ known as neutrinos can force … Read more

Nearly 80 years after scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory discovered an extremely rare radioactive element called promethium, a team at the lab published a groundbreaking study on the subject that could “rewrite chemistry books,” according to ORNL. Research published in Nature on May 22 marks the first time scientists have discovered the element’s key … Read more
39 The two elements that will form the initial Gateway capabilities for NASA’s Artemis campaign are preparing for system installations this year and next as the space agency reviews progress to set a new launch date. The Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) and the Habitation and Logistics Module (HALO) are being built on different continents … Read more
