Explore the surprising findings of helium presence in volcanic eruptions and its implications on geological and chemical processes deep inside the Earth.

Normally, these rare isotopes only exist in stars or during events such as star mergers or supernovae, all of which lead to nucleosynthesis — the process in which lighter nuclei are used as building ...

Notably, this includes understanding the chain of fusion events, or nucleosynthesis, that occurs in stars, and how this can be detected from a distance by measuring the radiation these processes ...
