In fluid statics, capillary pressure is the pressure between two immiscible fluids in a thin tube (see capillary), resulting from the interactions of forces between the fluids and solid walls of the tube.
The elements formed in these stages range from oxygen through to iron. During a supernova, the star releases very large amounts of energy as well as neutrons, which allows elements heavier than iron, such as uranium and gold, to be produced.In the supernova explosion, all of these elements are expelled out into space.he elements formed in these stages range from oxygen through to iron.

In general, such elements up to iron are made in large stars in the process of becoming supernovas. Iron-56 is particularly common, since it is the most stable element that can easily be made from alpha particles (being a product of decay of radioactive nickel-56, ultimately made from 14 helium nuclei). Elements heavier than iron are made in energy-absorbing processes in large stars, and their abundance in the universe (and on Earth) generally decreases with their atomic number.
