A study of processes that affect the abundance of osmium will reduce the uncertainty that has plagued measurements of the age of the Milky Way. Physicists will soon have a better measure of the age of ...
Physicists will soon have a better measure of the age of our galaxy, thanks to experiments described in a trio of papers appearing in the journal Physical Review C. The papers report on experiments at ...
HANOVER, NH – Dartmouth researchers have determined that the presence of the rare element osmium is on the rise globally. They trace this increase to the consumption of refined platinum, the primary ...
