Explosions lighting up the entire universe, stars ripping themselves apart, and hydrogen bombs which make the military green with envy: all that has created life. More than 250 scientists will be assembling in Vancouver to discuss their latest results about stars and the creation of the elements at Nuclei in the Cosmos VIII.
This the first time a conference in the NIC series has come to Canada, and only the second time it has been held in North America. It is being organized by the TRIUMF Laboratory, which has active research in this field. The conference will be held from July 19-23 2004, and will be opened by Vancouver Deputy Mayor Sam Sullivan.
