Nuclear Astrophysics - Future Work

Future Work

Although the foundations of the science are bona fide, there are still many remaining open questions. A few of the long-standing issues are helium fusion (specifically the 12C(α,γ)16O reaction), the astrophysical site of the r-process, anomalous lithium abundances in Population III stars, and the explosion mechanism in core-collapse supernovae.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or work:

    The future is inevitable and precise, but it may not occur. God lurks in the gaps.
    Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    Art is a private thing, the artist makes it for himself; a comprehensible work is the product of a journalist.... We need works that are strong, straight, precise, and forever beyond understanding.
    Tristan Tzara (1896–1963)
