Stellar Reaction Recreated in the Lab

In space, some stars are known to feed off one another. As they suck energy from their neighbors, these stars trade chemical elements. By understanding the dynamics of these stellar reactions, we can learn more about the cosmic recipes in everything...

Although Tiny, Peatland Microorganisms Have a Big Impact on Climate

Polyphenols are generally toxic to microorganisms. In peatlands, scientists thought microorganisms avoided this toxicity by degrading polyphenols using an oxygen-dependent enzyme, and thus that low-oxygen conditions inhibit microbes’ carbon...

Scientists Study How Bc Mesons Form to Gain More Information from Ultra-Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions

Scientists use collisions of heavy ions to produce quark-gluon plasma containing large numbers of the heavy charm and bottom quarks. The recombination of freely moving charm and bottom quarks facilitates the production of Bc mesons. In this study,...
