1952 Industr. & Engin. Chem. June 1276/1 One of the more practical results of the theory of nucleogenesis is the explanation and the guidance..it has offered in preparing monodisperse colloids.
1955 Nature 16 July 130/2 If the assumptions..are valid,..all the radioactive elements with half-lives short compared to 4 × 108 yr. would have decayed in the time interval between nucleogenesis and the formation of the Earth.
1974 Physics Bull. Oct. 464/3 Nucleogenesis in stars.
1987 Proc. National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 84 7955/2 During nucleogenesis, these components reassemble into new nucleoli through the formation of prenucleolar bodies.
1991 Science 25 Jan. 456/3 It was becoming clear that primordial nucleogenesis in a hot universe would overproduce helium unless most of the gravitating mass was non-baryonic.
