The theoreticalmodelsforinvestigating the fusionmechanismofheavynucleus collisions and calculating the formation cross sectionsofsuperheavynuclei have been introduced.
This begins with a stimulus, such as an electric shock, that promotes the fusion of an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed with a donor cell whose nucleus it will assume.
Fusion is the process of forcing the nuclei of atoms so close together that they fuse into a nucleus of a new element. (Fission, of course, is the opposite: energy produced by splitting nuclei.) The new, fused nucleus weighs less than the original two.
