Scientists propose that magnetars, highly magnetic neutron stars, could be the source of early heavy elements like gold.

Physicists propose that high-energy photon jets from collapsing stars may be secret factories of heavy elements like ...

Giant flares blasted out of supermagnetized stars called "magnetars" could forge planets' worth of gold and other heavy ...
