Astrophysics researchers from the University of Auckland have recently released a report into the origins of binary neutron star mergers, colloquially dubbed cosmic factories.
The team was led by doctor Heloise Stevens with inner teams led by Jan Eldrdge looking at how the events take place and what causes them.
The scientists utilised a captured star merger that we viewed in 2017, and analysed the beginnings before looking at how they produce elements like gold, silver and uranium.
