Nuclear Physics
Nucleosynthesis is the process by which new atomic nuclei are created from existing nucleons, primarily occurring in stars and during explosive events in the universe. This process is crucial for understanding the formation of elements and the chemical evolution of the cosmos, as it explains how light elements fuse to create heavier ones through various mechanisms, including stellar nucleosynthesis and supernova nucleosynthesis.
congrats on reading the definition of nucleosynthesis. now let's actually learn it.
