Discovery of Extraterrestrial 244Pu in 2 Million Year Old Fossilized Stromatolites

The rapid neutron capture process ( r -process) is responsible for producing about half of the elements heavier than iron in the Universe through cataclysmic events such as core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers (NSMs). Despite extensive research, the exact astrophysical sites of the r -p...
