Discovering the first signs of nuclear fission in the universe

For the first time, scientists were able to observe signs of nuclear fission in the universe. Before this, nuclear fission process was observed only in its reactors.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, according to reliable evidence, scientists discovered nuclear fission in the universe during the merger of neutron stars. Currently, this type of fission on earth and in nuclear power plants is considered a known process. But no more such signs were seen in space. With the new discovery, some old beliefs will be challenged and our attitude towards the formation of heavy elements in the world will also change.

According to the article published in this case, researchers from the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of North Carolina have provided observations that belong to the first signs of nuclear fission in the world. One of the researchers says in this regard: Before, it was thought that a gap occurs in the universe, but it has not been proven yet. The process of nuclear fission is well known and is also carried out in nuclear power plants on earth. But such a process has never been seen among stars.

Researchers previously thought that nuclear fission occurred during the merger of neutron stars. Now this research team has been able to discover signs of nuclear fission in the world based on observations and models. Discovering these signs can answer the question of how the universe's heavy elements were created.
