First Ever Nuclear Reaction in Neutron Star Remnants Measured Using Nanomaterials A Breakthrough in Astrophysics and Nuclear physics Physicists have successfully observed a nuclear reaction that takes place during neutron star collisions, offering experimental data for a process that was once purely theoretical. this research, conducted by the University of Surrey, sheds light on the creation of the universe's heaviest elements and may lead to breakthroughs in nuclear reactor technology. Historic First Measurement of a Weak r-Process Reaction The ⁹⁴Sr(α,n)⁹⁷Zr  Nuclear Reaction In collaboration with the University of York, University of Seville, and TRIUMF — Canada's national particle accelerator center — researchers have achieved a historic milestone: the first direct measurement of a week r-process reaction cross-section using a radioactive ion beam. This study focused on the  ⁹⁴Sr(α,n)⁹⁷Zr reaction, where strontium-94 absorbs an alpha particle, emits a neutron, and tra...
