Nascent refers to the initial stage of a substance's existence, particularly in the context of chemistry. The term is often used to describe elements that have been freshly generated in a reactive form.

Chemistry[edit]

In chemistry, the term "nascent" is used to describe substances that are in their active states. These substances are typically more reactive than their stable forms. For example, nascent hydrogen is hydrogen that has just been liberated from a chemical reaction and is in an extremely reactive state.

Biology[edit]

In biology, "nascent" is used to describe the initial stages of a molecule's synthesis. For example, nascent proteins are proteins that are still being synthesized on the ribosome. Similarly, nascent RNA is RNA that is still being synthesized by RNA polymerase.

Physics[edit]

In physics, "nascent" can refer to the initial stages of a physical process. For example, nascent plasma is plasma that is in the process of being formed.
