Title: A Small Step on the Long Road to Understanding the R-Stars: CNO Cycling in Candidate R-Star Progenitors Authors: George Angelou, John Lattanzio Recent work has proposed that a merger event between a red-giant and a He white dwarf may be responsible for the production of R-stars (Izz...

University of Saskatchewan Researchers Use Synchrotron to Shed Light on Cadmium's Role in the Carbon Cycle. An international team that includes two University of Saskatchewan Canada Research Chairs has discovered that the element cadmium, well known for its toxicity to humans and ot...

Researchers at the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory have learned to produce 10-carat, 12-mm thick single-crystal diamonds at rapid growth rates (100 micrometers per hour) using a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) process. This size is approximately five times that of c...

Researchers studying the labyrinthine nature of atomic nuclei say they have answered a question that has puzzled physicists for more than half a century: Why does the radioactive isotope known as carbon-14 decay so slowly? The discovery could lead to a better understanding of the workings of the s...

Most of the carbon supporting life on Earth was forged by red giant stars that never exploded, say astronomers in Michigan and Sweden. These stars cast the carbon into space when they blew off their outer atmospheres and became white dwarfs. Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen--atomic numbers 6, 7, a...
