Definitions: Fission |
FissionNoun1. A nuclear reaction in which a massive nucleus splits into smaller nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy. 2. Reproduction of some unicellular organisms by division of the cell into two more or less equal parts. Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright © 2001 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. |
Date "fission" was first used in popular English literature: sometime before 1985. (references) |
Etymology: Fission \Fis"sion\, noun. [Latin expression fissio. See Fissure.]. (Websters 1913) |
| Domain | Definitions |
Aerospace | The splitting of an atomic nucleus into two more-or-less equal fragments.Fission may occur spontaneously or may be induced by capture of bombarding particles. In addition to the fission fragments, neutrons and gamma rays are usually produced during fission. (references) |
Energy | The splitting of a nucleus into at least two other nuclei and the release of a relatively large amount of energy. Two or three neutrons are usually released during this type of transformation. (fissioning). (references) |
| A release of energy caused by the splitting of an atom's nucleus. This istheenergy process used in conventional nuclear power plants to make the heat neededto run steam electric turbines. (references) | |
Food & Agriculture | Characteristic method of vegetative multiplication of bacteria. A cell divides into two daughter cells. Source: European Union. (references) |
Military | The process whereby the nucleus of a heavy element splits into (generally) two nuclei of lighter elements, with the release of substantial amounts of energy. (references) |
Mining | The spontaneous or induced splitting, by particle collision, of a heavy nucleus into a pair (only rarely more) of nearly equal fission fragments plus some neutrons. Fission is accompanied by the release of a largeamount of energy. CF:fusion. (references) |
Nuclear Energy & Physics | Division of a heavy nucleus into two or, rarely, more parts with masses of equal order of magnitude, usually accompanied by the emission of neutrons, gamma rays and, rarely, small charged nuclear fragments. Source: European Union. (references) |
Space | The splitting of heavier atomic nuclei into lighter ones. In the case of heavy atoms (e.g., uranium, plutonium), this will release energy. Fission is how nuclear power plants produce energy. (references) |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In physics, nuclear fission is a process where a large nucleus such as uranium is split into two smaller nuclei.
In biology, binary fission refers to the process whereby a prokaryote reproduces by cell division. It is similar to mitosis and meiosis in eukaryotes.

Health | Trichomonas vaginalis resides in the female lower genital tract and the male urethra and prostate, where it replicates by binary fission. (references) | |
Cysts are the parasite stage responsible for transmission of balantidiasis . The host most often acquires the cyst through ingestion of contaminated food or water . Following ingestion, excystation occurs in the small intestine, and the trophozoites colonize the large intestine . The trophozoites reside in the lumen of the large intestine of humans and animals, where they replicate by binary fission, during which conjugation may occur . Trophozoites undergo encystation to produce infective cysts . Some trophozoites invade the wall of the colon and multiply. (references) | ||
