This is in stark contrast to previous claims by scientists that fusion at the core or supernova explosions could produce elements lighter than iron, and supernova explosions. Giant crystals or the fusion of two neutron star systems can produce elements heavier than iron.
Physics professor George Fuller, co-author of the study, said that when a black hole and neutron star are combined, a form of smelter produces gold, platinum, uranium and most elements heavier than iron. He added that it is likely that these elements formed in neutron-rich environments.
Neutron stars are the most dense star in the universe. Typically, a neutron star has a mass of 1.35 to 2.1 times the mass of the Sun and it is estimated that only a scoop of neutron star's surface matter has a mass of about three billion tons, more than 900 times the mass. Giza pyramid in Egypt.

Fuller further explained that, when neutron stars are attracted to a small black hole, it will be attracted from the inside out due to the influence of gravity. In the process of rotating, shrinking, nuclear material is released, the shrinking in the star center gradually increases. Separated material reduces pressure, heats up and has enough neutrons needed to make the element heavier than iron.
Scientists have relied on the existence of small black holes to hypothesize the formation of nuclear fuel in the universe. But many astronomers believe that such black holes were formed after the Big Bang and now lie in the dark matter of the universe.
Thep Fuller, the fact that black holes swallow neutron stars produces elements heavier than iron and nuclear fuel rarely occurs. Among the 10 new dwarf galaxies, a galaxy contains many heavy elements. Because neutron stars are very rare at the center of galaxies and dwarf galaxies, where there are many black holes.
