Nitrogen is one of the components of the CNO (Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen) cycle, one of two known methods of hydrogen fusion. (The CNO cycle is the primary means for higher-mass stars - 1.3 solar mass and above.)

The cell phone question was a problem, though. As you say the radio waves which transfer the calls from phone to phone are also light waves (or are they particles? :D ). But also, “sound waves” is an option, which is how the calls are transferred from mouth to phone or phone to ear.
