They did not address the creation of heavier nuclei, however.

Some of these neutrons are captured by heavy nuclei, such as uranium-238.

This flight gave evidence for heavy nuclei among the cosmic rays.

The total kinetic energy is half what it would be for a single electron moving around a heavy nucleus.

It is therefore possible for energy to be released if a heavy nucleus breaks apart into two lighter ones.

He studied the behavior of heavy nuclei daughter isotopes in soils.

This is why there are more neutrons than protons in heavy nuclei.

Evidence for heavy nuclei in the primary cosmic radiation.

This step is often justified by stating that "the heavy nuclei move more slowly than the light electrons."

A heavy nucleus splits into smaller parts, usually after capturing a neutron (see number 2).

Also, in especially heavy nuclei, spontaneous fission may occur.

Helium-4 is very stable and neither decays nor combines easily to form heavier nuclei.

There are extreme astrophysical events that can lead to short periods of fusion with heavier nuclei.

In both aforementioned cases, a heavier nucleus decays to its lighter isobar.

For heavier nuclei, the binding energy per nucleon in the nucleus begins to decrease.

Rhona then ends up going on the final question revolving around physics where she asks what is the heaviest nucleus.

They and other physicists were experimenting with the heaviest nuclei, those of the uranium atom, looking for related elements.

The result is an extremely heavy nucleus - a transuranic element - so unwieldy that it quickly disintegrates.

Nuclear fusion: The process by which two nuclei collide and coalesce to form a single, heavier nucleus.

Thus, a high energy accelerator of heavy nuclei is an efficient means of producing and studying antimatter.

He was a discoverer of cosmic ray heavy nuclei and of solar proton events.

Platan was designed to capture low-energy heavy nuclei from the sun and from outside the solar system.

Np eventually decays to form bismuth-209 and thallium-205, unlike most other common heavy nuclei which decay to make isotopes of lead.

In even heavier nuclei energy is consumed, not released, by combining similar sized nuclei.

With the formation of stars, heavier nuclei were created from hydrogen and helium by stellar nucleosynthesis, a process that continues today.
