Rare-isotope decay links tiny grains to stellar explosions
Published: March 2016 Bardayan
A newly discovered state of the 31S nucleus could help to explain the puzzling isotope ratios found in tiny grains of silicon carbide that are found in some meteorites. The discovery provides important information about how elements such as silicon are created in stellar explosions called novae. Learn more
