Nuclear chemist recreates stardust in the lab

Original: 🌟Making stardust in the lab How are the heaviest elements formed? Nuclear chemist Julia Even wants to collect the missin

Nuclear chemist Julia Even of the University of Groningen is working to understand how the heaviest chemical elements are formed in space. By collecting missing experimental data in the lab, she aims to better understand the extreme cosmic processes, such as neutron star mergers, that forge these heavy elements, which cannot be fully explained with current measurements.

Why now: The University of Groningen has publicised her research into the origins of heavy elements, drawing attention to how stardust is made.
