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:

    After the final no there comes a yes
    And on that yes the future world depends.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
    The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
    But then begins a journey in my head
    To work my mind, when body’s work’s expired:
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
