    Within the framework of their artistic research, the artists have developed the term “Semi-Living” to describe a new category of life that was created in the laboratory. [21] [22] In 2003, The Tissue Culture & Art Project in collaboration with Stelarc grew a 1/4 scale replica of an ear using human cells to create the Extra Ear project.

  3. Synthetic element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_element

    The synthetic elements are those with atomic numbers 95–118, as shown in purple on the accompanying periodic table: [1] these 24 elements were first created between 1944 and 2010. The mechanism for the creation of a synthetic element is to force additional protons into the nucleus of an element with an atomic number lower than 95.

    Diagram illustration the creation of new elements by the alpha process Nucleosynthesis is the process that creates new atomic nuclei from pre-existing nucleons (protons and neutrons) and nuclei. According to current theories, the first nuclei were formed a few minutes after the Big Bang , through nuclear reactions in a process called Big Bang ...

    The two discovered a new element in a molybdenum sample that was used in a cyclotron, the first element to be discovered by synthesis. It had been predicted by Mendeleev in 1871 as eka-manganese. [171] [172] [173] In 1952, Paul W. Merrill found its spectral lines in S-type red giants. [174]

  7. Elements of art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elements_of_art

    Mark making is the interaction between the artist and the materials they are using. [1] It provides the viewer of the work with an image of what the artist had done to create the mark, reliving what the artist had done at the time. [1] Materiality is the choice of materials used and how it impacts the work of art and how the viewer perceives it ...

    It is proposed to create a phospholipid bilayer vesicle with DNA capable of self-reproducing using synthetic genetic information. The three primary elements of such artificial cells are the formation of a lipid membrane, DNA and RNA replication through a template process and the harvesting of chemical energy for active transport across the ...

  9. Big Bang nucleosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang_nucleosynthesis

    Without major changes to the Big Bang theory itself, BBN will result in mass abundances of about 75% of hydrogen-1, about 25% helium-4, about 0.01% of deuterium and helium-3, trace amounts (on the order of 10 −10) of lithium, and negligible heavier elements. That the observed abundances in the universe are generally consistent with these ...
