Groundbreaking Discovery of Heavy Element Creation in Cosmos

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Hubble Space Telescope, revealing new insights into the creation of heavy elements in the cosmos. The collision of two ultradense neutron stars led to the production of metals heavier than iron and silver, including gold. This discovery challenges previous beliefs about the origins of gamma-ray bursts and opens up new avenues for understanding cosmic processes.
