About

Nucleosynthesis is the astrophysical process by which new atomic nuclei are created from pre-existing nucleons and lighter nuclei. This academic field investigates the diverse nuclear reactions, including fusion, fission, and particle capture, that occur in various cosmic environments, such as the early universe, stellar interiors, supernovae, and compact object mergers. Its study is fundamental to understanding the origin and observed cosmic abundances of the chemical elements.
