Scientists think an asteroid could contain previously unknown elements. Asteroid 33 Polyhymnia appears to be denser than the densest element in the Periodic Table. The densest naturally occurring ...
Neutron star collisions do not create the quantity of chemical elements previously assumed, a new analysis of galaxy evolution finds. The research also reveals that current models can't explain the ...
A fundamental property of the rarest element on Earth, astatine, has been discovered for the first time, scientists say. Astatine occurs naturally; however, scientists estimate much less than an ounce ...
