jan 1, 1935 - Oppenheimer-Phillips process

Description:

The Oppenheimer-Phillips process, which was discovered in 1935, is a process involving deuterons (hydrogen isotopes with one neutron and one proton). In this process, the neutron from the deuteron fuses with a nucleus of another atom, creating a heavier isotope of that atom. This process allows nuclear interaction to occur at lower weights.
