Saturn’s Planetary Rings May Have Universally Similar Particle Distribution

Saturn’s Planetary Rings May Have Universally Similar Particle Distribution

In a breakthrough study, an international team of scientists, including Professor Nikolai Brilliantov from the University of Leicester, has solved an age-old scientific riddle by discovering that planetary rings, such as those orbiting Saturn, have a universally similar particle distribution.

New Model Could Explain Loss of Lithium in Stars

New Model Could Explain Loss of Lithium in Stars

Lithium, the lightest metal, used in batteries and mood-stabilising drugs, is rarer than it should be. Models of the period after the Big Bang explain how it, hydrogen and helium were synthesised in nuclear reactions, before the universe cooled enough for the stars and planets that we see today to come into being.
