Gamma-ray bursts are the most powerful kinds of explosions known in the cosmos.

They may help explain how the universe's heaviest elements are forged.

Previously, research has suggested the formation of the heaviest elements, such as gold, requires copious amounts of neutrons that atomic nuclei can absorb to become larger and larger.

Now, a new study suggests these neutrons help forge heavy elements from dying stars.
