Nucleosynthesis

/ˌnukliəˈsɪnθəsɪs/ noun

Definition

The process by which atomic nuclei are created from protons and neutrons, occurring in the early universe (Big Bang nucleosynthesis) and in stellar cores (stellar nucleosynthesis). This process is responsible for creating all elements heavier than hydrogen.

Etymology

Formed from 'nucleus' (from Latin meaning 'kernel') and 'synthesis' (from Greek meaning 'putting together'). The term emerged in the 1940s-50s as physicists began understanding how elements form in stars and the early universe.

Kelly Says

We are literally made of stardust - every atom in your body except hydrogen was forged in the nuclear furnace of a star or during the first few minutes after the Big Bang! The calcium in your bones, iron in your blood, and oxygen you breathe all came from stellar nucleosynthesis.
