About Heavy Metals
When a dying star explodes and goes supernova, it reaches temperatures of billions of degrees, releasing huge amounts of energy. Neutrons and protons smash together to form elements heavier than iron. This process is called the r-process (rapid neutron capture), and it creates gold, platinum, uranium, lead and many other rare elements. Welcome to heavy metals—the podcast where we break up huge concepts into useful rare tidbits.
