nucleosynthesisn.

1957 W. A. Fowler in Sci. Monthly 84 91/2 This description of nucleosynthesis in stars starts from the well-established facts that the source of energy in stars is reactions among nuclei and that nuclear reactions which release energy must involve the transmutation of nuclei of low stability into nuclei of great stability.

1960 W. A. Fowler & F. Hoyle in Ann. Physics 10 281 Type I supernovae were considered to be the only events rapid enough for nucleosynthesis. [Note] We use the term nucleosynthesis rather than nucleogenesis for good reason. We refer..to the synthesis of the elements beyond hydrogen from..the proton, and the neutron... We reserve genesis for the creation of matter-energy.

1971 Nature 3 Sept. 39/2 It is now clear that while this effect is operating, a large amount of nucleosynthesis takes place early in the life of a galaxy.

1994 P. Davies Last Three Minutes iv. 45 These elements, along with the lighter ones, such as carbon and oxygen, that were created in the earlier stages of nucleosynthesis, are blasted into space.
