John P. Millis, PhD for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online In the early Universe the only elements capable of forming were hydrogen and helium. All subsequent atoms are created by massive stars: the lighter members by nuclear fusion in their cores, with much of the rest created during supernovae as atoms are collided at incredible energies leading to nucleosynthesis. Some of the elements produced have long half-lives, sticking around to lay the foundation for new stars, planets and...

Highlights: -- 24 samples were taken and significant values were recorded on the "Magnetite Scale" of a KT-10 Plus magnetite susceptibility meter. KT-10 values correlated well with the Fe assay values. Six samples showed Fe values higher than 40% Fe. -- The level of impurities in the samples such as sulphur and phosphorous were extremely low indicating the final product would be ideal for blending with...

Migratory birds and fish use the Earth’s magnetic field to find their way. LMU researchers have now identified cells with internal compass needles for the perception of the field – and can explain why high-tension cables perturb the magnetic orientation. Although many animal species can sense the geomagnetic field and exploit it for spatial orientation, efforts to pinpoint the cells that detect the field and convert the information into nerve impulses have so far failed. “The field...
