    Gold is also formed in the Earth's crust through hydrothermal processes, which occur when hot fluids move through rocks and deposit minerals.

  9. Nuclear fission has been observed for the first time in a cosmic setting. Evidence from stellar observations links neutron star mergers to superheavy element formation that then breaks apart, seeding galaxies with lighter heavy elements.

  10. #KnowledgeByte: After the #BigBang, the #Universe was incredibly hot and dense, a soup of fundamental particles like quarks and gluons. As the universe expanded and cooled, these particles combined to form protons and neutrons.

    These, in turn, fused to create the nuclei of the lightest elements, mainly hydrogen and helium, during a process called #Nucleosynthesis.

  12. Working on my next #linocut for #printersolstice2425 - last week we talked about how some numbers of nucleons (neutrons and protons) are “magic” so sometimes if you add another the binding energy is lower than the last, so the resulting nuclei are more common and stable. This week is about how you do that…. How you add nucleons to nuclei and grow heavier elements.

  17. #DidYouKnow: #Nucleosynthesis is the process that creates new atomic nuclei from pre-existing nucleons (protons and neutrons) and nuclei.
    According to current theories, the first nuclei were formed a few minutes after the #BigBang, through nuclear reactions in a process called Big Bang nucleosynthesis.
