AI Summary
An international research team conducted the first experimental study of a nuclear reaction that is key to understanding how strontium is produced in stars, particularly in environments where conventional models do not explain its formation. The study, published on June 8 in *Communications Physics*, used indirect experimental techniques to probe how a krypton isotope captures neutrons. The new data provide previously inaccessible information about this neutron‑capture process, helping to refine models of strontium synthesis in stellar interiors.
