This video discusses the origins of chemical elements, with a focus on the role of fusion in the process. Cortina explains that fusion is the most likely scenario for the creation of heavy elements, and that it is a very rare process. She also discusses the technology required to create these elements in the laboratory.

  • 00:00:00 This lecture is about the origins of chemical elements, and how scientists have been able to use experiments on Earth to help explain the process. Dolores Cortina discusses some of the findings from her team's experiments at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy. She also tells us about a recent project she's been involved in that uses lasers to accelerate particles.
  • 00:05:00 This video discusses the origins of chemical elements, with a focus on the periódica table. It explains that all the atoms in a substance are arranged in columns and rows based on their electron count, and that each element has a specific number of atoms. The video also points out that the famous sentence "from dust to atoms" by Carl Sagan is a metaphor, and that the table is strictly obeying the periodic law.
  • 00:10:00 In 2019, the International Year of the Periodic Table was celebrated. This video discusses the origins of chemical elements, starting with the big band and moving forward to details about how protons and neutrons were formed. This information is important because it tells us what elements will make up our bodies and planets, and how the composition of the universe has changed over time.
  • 00:15:00 In this video, Dolores Cortina discusses the origins of chemical elements, which date back millions of years. She mentions that on a molecular level, six kilograms of hydrogen come from that 14 million years ago. This curiosity is what drives scientists to simplify chemical concepts. Finally, she discusses nuclear fission, which takes place at the atomic level and allows for elements such as iron and carbon to be created.
  • 00:20:00 In this video, Dolores Cortina explains the origins of chemical elements. She starts by discussing the nucleus, which is very important because you'll see that it's what's inside the stars that makes them Shine. She goes on to explain that reactions between nucleus and electron shells produce energy, and stars will Shine according to their elements' periodic table. Finally, Cortina discusses the concept of isotopes, which are different forms of the same element. She finishes the video by introducing some astronomical concepts related to the atom.
  • 00:25:00 In this video, Dolores Cortina discusses the origins of chemical elements. She explains that, at first, only hydrogen and helium were present in the universe, and that over time, these elements would combine to form stars. As stars die and release their material, these clouds of gas become enriched with other elements, eventually leading to the formation of stars of different sizes and colors. Small stars gradually consume their hydrogen fuel, turning into a helium-burning core. As the surface expands, the star becomes brighter and eventually becomes a red giant. Massive stars, however, reach the end of their life cycle and undergo a process known as "red supergiant phase" in which they become white or blue giants. Small stars eventually become white dwarfs, while massive stars eventually explode as supernovas, creating entirely new types of stars. This video provides a brief overview of the life cycle of stars, from their birth as small, middle-sized, and large stars to their final stages as neutron stars or black holes.
  • 00:30:00 In this video, Dolores Cortina discusses the origin of chemical elements. She starts by talking about stars that are made of smaller, older stars – ones that contain nitrogen and helium. The first step in this process is when these stars start to transform hydrogen into helium. This is called the "fusion process," and it occurs over time as the stars keep burning hydrogen. Eventually, what you get is three atoms of hydrogen combined with three atoms of helium. This process produces energy in the form of heat, and it's responsible for the brightness of stars. One of the processes that is important for our lives is the triple alpha process, which is responsible for the formation of carbon 12. You can see this process happening by adding the two protons from hydrogen (2 protons from helium) together. Doing this results in the formation of a carbon nucleus with six protons and six neutrons. This unstable nucleus will quickly break down again into two other nuclei.
  • 00:35:00 This YouTube video explains the origins of chemical elements, with particular focus on the production of anti-carbon 12. The video explains that in order to produce this anti-carbon, stars must be of a relatively small size, as our sun is not capable of producing these extremely high temperatures. It goes on to say that in order to achieve this, we need stars that are a bit more massive, and that at some point in their evolution, these stars will enter into a stage in which they will consume protons in nuclear fusion reactions in order to produce hydrogen. This process of nuclear fusion will eventually lead to the contraction of the nucleus and the expansion of the surface, leading to the star becoming a red supergiant. This process of evolution will also produce a portion of the material that has formed becoming expelled, which will eventually form clouds throughout the universe. At some point, this material will form part of other stars. Ultimately, the process of evolution will lead to the formation of carbon 12, which will be fused with a proton to form an isotope called nitrogen 13. This radioactive isotope will then be transformed into other radioisotopes, including carbon 13, which is stable. In this way, the process of nuclear fusion will lead to the production
  • 00:40:00 In this video, Dolores Cortina explains the process by which stars generate new elements. Stars gradually consume elements from the surrounding gas and, as a result, produce heavier elements over time. Eventually, a star will reach a stage in its evolution where it will explode as a supernova. This process produces a variety of elements, some of which are found on Earth.
  • 00:45:00 In this video, Dolores Cortina discusses the origins of chemical elements, focusing on the role of density in the process. She explains that elements are generated in stars based on the number of neutrons and protons in a star's nucleus, and that the process of creating heavier elements (e.g. oxygen, iron) from lighter ones (e.g. hydrogen, helium) occurs in explosive environments.
  • 00:50:00 The video introduces the idea that one can conceive of chemical elements as simply the products of the capture of neutrons. In particular, I am discussing the process of beta decay, which is when a neutron turns into a proton and an electron. This process is responsible for the generation of heavy elements, which have the same number of protons and neutrons as their atomic nucleus. The video then goes on to discuss the two processes involved in generating heavy elements: nuclear fusion, which combines lighter atoms together, and beta decay, which turns neutrons into protons and electrons. The video finishes by explaining how the two processes operate on a much faster time scale than the process of evolution, which is the process by which lighter elements are created. Overall, the video provides a basic understanding of how chemical elements are created, and it provides a visual representation of the process. It also highlights the fact that these processes are slow and require relatively high amounts of neutrons in order to occur.
  • 00:55:00 In this video, Dolores Cortina discusses the origins of chemical elements, discussing the 22 possible scenarios that scientists were investigating a few years ago. Recently, however, there has been much evidence that the most likely scenario is the fusion of two stars' nuclei. This process is so rare that only a few laboratories have the technology to try and create these ultra-heavy elements in the lab.

In this YouTube video, Dolores Cortina discusses the origins of chemical elements. She starts by talking about how radiation from the cosmos creates elements in green, then goes on to talk about how elements up to iron can be produced in reaction processes from radiation. According to Cortina, the process of producing these elements would continue up to and including the heaviest elements, which are artificial. Finally, Cortina talks about how the production of these superheavy elements has been initiated at the GS laboratory in Germany and how it would correspond to this part of the chemical cycle diagram.

  • 01:00:00 In a long experiment, scientists detected the gravitational wave that resulted from the fusion of two stars of neutrons. This event occurred on 17 August 2017, and is very interesting for what was observed afterwards: the observation of the gravitational wave. Furthermore, significant numbers of telescopes were used to observe electromagnetic waves following the gravitational wave detection. This information was then used to establish the formula for the production of heavy elements in this type of scenario, which is called a "supernova explosion." This event also produced light up to three orders of magnitude brighter than a " kilo nova," which is an exploding star. This is very important because it gave scientists a great boost in their understanding of nuclear physics. For example, by studying exotic nuclei, such as those found in nuclear fusion, we are not able to produce these elements today using the accelerators we have today. These properties of the nuclei are important because they are necessary for making all of these calculations and predictions possible. I would like to add some data that will help to explain some of these mechanisms, such as the fission mechanism, which competes strongly with more traditional views of nuclear fusion. Finally, I would like to remind you that nuclear physics is a very complex field, and that we need to be

  • 01:10:00 In this YouTube video, Dolores Cortina discusses the origins of chemical elements. She states that there are later works where she says that she didn't say it, but here she only talks about good elements producing heavy elements, but she does not remember the rest. They are not new, and are not as heavy as they are supposed to be. They say that if they had had more time to observe, they would have been able to because what is seen are spectral lines corresponding to different times of vision. The blue line is emissions from earlier in the life of the star, the red line appears later and is associated with longer waves, and the green line appears at still later times and is associated with shorter waves. There are also religious groups with interesting beliefs where they say that elements are created through spontaneous fission of atoms, and that this is a competition between all of the decision-making valves. They have no understanding of how decision making works, and thus use predictions based on models that have been refined over time. They are hoping to be able to obtain data from future experiments that will help refine their models so that they may be able to more accurately predict the future. Ferdowsi says that he will present his project later, but for now, he
  • 01:15:00 Dolores Cortina is giving a presentation on the origins of chemical elements. She is discussing how her project is progressing at new facilities, and looking forward to having them available by 2025. The synchrotron will be available by that year, and other five-year projects should be complete. There are video clips of the project's progress on the website of the Granada Research Department, which is also where you can find information on the civil engineering aspects of the project, which are now complete. Finally, Cortina thanks the audience for their support.
