  2. Missing square puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_square_puzzle

    The apparent triangles formed from the figures are 13 units wide and 5 units tall, so it appears that the area should be S = ⁠ 13×5 / 2 ⁠ = 32.5 units. However, the blue triangle has a ratio of 5:2 (=2.5), while the red triangle has the ratio 8:3 (≈2.667), so the apparent combined hypotenuse in each figure is actually bent.

  3. 15 puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_puzzle

    The transformations of the 15 puzzle form a groupoid (not a group, as not all moves can be composed); [12] [13] [14] this groupoid acts on configurations.. Because the combinations of the 15 puzzle can be generated by 3-cycles, it can be proved that the 15 puzzle can be represented by the alternating group. [15]

  4. Nucleosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleosynthesis

    Elements beyond iron are made in high-mass stars with slow neutron capture , and by rapid neutron capture in the r-process, with origins being debated among rare supernova variants and compact-star collisions. Note that this graphic is a first-order simplification of an active research field with many open questions.

  5. Chemical element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_element

    These mismatches came from different suggestings of naming the elements in the Modern era. Initially Berzelius had suggested "So" and "Po" for sodium and potassium, but he changed the symbols to "Na" and "K" later in the same year. Elements discovered after 1814 were also assigned unique chemical symbols, based on the name of the element.

  6. Big Bang nucleosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang_nucleosynthesis

    A version of the periodic table indicating the origins – including big bang nucleosynthesis – of the elements. All elements above 103 are also man-made and are not included. Big Bang nucleosynthesis produced very few nuclei of elements heavier than lithium due to a bottleneck: the absence of a stable nucleus with 8 or 5 nucleons. This ...

  7. Stellar nucleosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_nucleosynthesis

    Clayton calculated the first time-dependent models of the s-process in 1961 [15] and of the r-process in 1965, [16] as well as of the burning of silicon into the abundant alpha-particle nuclei and iron-group elements in 1968, [17] [18] and discovered radiogenic chronologies [19] for determining the age of the elements.

  9. Conoscopic interference pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conoscopic_interference...

    The optic sign and optic angle can be determined together by combining interference pattern microscopy with use of a sensitive tint plate. On either side of the "saddle" formed by the isogyres, birefringent rings of colour run concentrically around two eye like shapes called melatopes. The closest bands are circles, but further out they become ...
