In nucleosynthesis a new atomic nuclei is created. This new nuclei is formed mainly from protons and neutrons that were already created.

What are several types of nucleosynthesis?

Several types of nucleosynthesis include primordial nucleosynthesis (which occurs within the first few minutes of the universe's existence), stellar nucleosynthesis (which occurs within stars through nuclear fusion processes), and explosive nucleosynthesis (which occurs during events like supernovae or neutron star mergers).


What is nucleosynthesis used for?

Nucleosynthesis is used for creating elements more complex than hydrogen


What does the term nucleosynthesis refer to?

Nucleosynthesis is the process by which atoms are formed in the cores of stars through nuclear reactions. It is responsible for creating elements heavier than helium, like carbon, oxygen, and iron. There are two main types of nucleosynthesis: primordial nucleosynthesis, which occurred in the early universe, and stellar nucleosynthesis, which occurs in the cores of stars.


Who described nucleosynthesis inside stars?

The first person to come up with a successful theory for nucleosynthesis in stars was Fred Hoyle.


When was uranium created?

Big bang nucleosynthesis


Where was the element boron made?

Nucleosynthesis in the core of stars.


When did the first nucleosynthesis take place?

The first nucleosynthesis is thought to have occurred shortly after the Big Bang, where simple elements like hydrogen and helium were formed. This initial phase of nucleosynthesis laid the foundation for the creation of more complex elements in stars and supernovae over time.


Where does elements come from?

Chemical elements were formed by stellar nucleosynthesis.


What has the author Jean Audouze written?

Is beryllium created in stars?

Beryllium was not created during the stellar nucleosynthesis.


Is an element formed?

By stellar nucleosynthesis (excepting H, He and probably Li, Be).


How is stellar nucleosynthesis different from big bang nucleosynthesis?

Stellar nucleosynthesis refers to the process by which elements are formed within stars through nuclear fusion during their lifecycles, primarily converting hydrogen into helium and heavier elements in later stages. In contrast, big bang nucleosynthesis occurred in the first few minutes after the Big Bang, resulting in the formation of the lightest elements, primarily hydrogen, helium, and trace amounts of lithium and beryllium. While stellar nucleosynthesis builds upon the elements formed during the big bang, it occurs under different conditions and leads to the creation of heavier elements over billions of years.
