Приклад
Studies of the fission process have helped expand understanding of nuclear stability and the breakdown of heavy isotopes into lighter fragments.
During the Manhattan Project, scientists worked to harness fission for military purposes and developed the first atomic bombs that explode via nuclear fission.
Some single-celled organisms, such as amoebas, reproduce asexually through binary fission.
Under the microscope, scientists observed bacterial fission where one cell divides into two identical cells.
Fission is an efficient form of reproduction that helps single-celled organisms populate their environment swiftly.
