Nuclear Fusion
Summary
Nuclear fusion
is the process by which two
light atomic nuclei
combine to form a
heavier nucleus
, releasing a
significant amount of energy
due to the
conversion of mass into energy
as described by
Einstein's equation
, E=mc². It is the same
reaction that powers the sun
and stars, and holds the potential for providing a nearly limitless, clean energy source on Earth if technological and
material challenges
can be overcome.
