In: Chemistry
Most heavy metals are created when binary neutron stars merge. Bascially stars smash into each other and the atoms smash into each other and merge. Only a small amount is made from supernovas.
>That entirely changed the picture. The math showed that binary neutron stars were a more efficient way to create heavy elements, compared to supernovae
