For the first time, astronomers have identified a chemical element that was freshly formed by the merging of two neutron stars. The underlying mechanism, called the r-process – also known as rapid neutron capture – is considered to be the origin of large quantities of elements heavier than iron. This discovery sheds new light on the mystery of the environments in which this r-process takes place. With important contributions from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA), astronomers have now unequivocally demonstrated that the fusion of two neutron stars creates the conditions for this process and acts as a reactor in which new elements are bred.

Heisenberg ein Schnippchen geschlagen | Max-Planck-Gesellschaft

https://www.mpg.de/7323787/gravitationswellendetektor-empfindlichkeit

Physiker entwickeln ein neues Konzept, um die Empfindlichkeit von Gravitationswellendetektoren zu verbessern. Das neuartige Messkonzept umgeht die Heisenbergsche Unschärferelation und kann zukünftig die Genauigkeit von Gravitationswellendetektoren wie GEO600 oder dem mit GEO eng kooperierenden amerikanischen Advanced LIGO-Projekt (aLIGO) steigern.
