Cosmic Diary - The Origin Of Elements
Cosmic Diary has a new feature article on the origin of the elements that make up the Universe by Tijana Prodanovic of the University of Novi Sad, Department of Physics Novi Sad, Serbia. From the blurb:
Making chemicals in the Universe is almost like following a recipe, which is the theme of this feature. Condensing quarks, getting the right temperature for protons and then cooking up elements are all studied. Everything has to be just right to get high quality results and the timings have to be spot on, otherwise you may end up with some very unexpected results...
