Nuclear Fusion Has Stumped Scientists for Decades. Here’s How We’ll Finally Unlock Its Limitless Energy. “If we figure out how to harness this effectively and efficiently, this is it. This is the end. This is the solution,” an expert tells us. ...
Nuclear fusion is the process by which stars, including the Sun, generate their energy. In a fusion reaction, atomic nuclei ‘fuse’ together to form heavier nuclei. For this to happen, the nuclei need to have enough energy to overcome therepulsiveforce they experience because they are both p...
ofnuclear fusion reactionstaking place every second inside the sun's core. Without those reactions, we wouldn't have anylightor warmth, and probably no life. A fusion reaction occurs when twoatomsofhydrogencollide to create a largerhelium-4atom, which releases energy. Here's how the process ...
Even so, fusion energy has long remained an elusive vision for the future, in large part because it's complicated and difficult to artificially duplicate the furnaces that power stars on Earth, without expending more energy than the process generates. Extreme temperatures and pressures are needed t...

In 1992, Chen obtained his Ph.D. degree in Condensed Matter Physics from the University of Science and Technology of China, and stayed at the university for work. After that, he worked as a Humboldt scholar at the Karlsruhe Research Center in Germany and the Max Planck Institute for Solid ...
The sun is essentially a giant fusion reactor, radiating heat and plasma, and it'll keep onburning for billions of years. In order toharness solar energyproduction in a form that can power everyday devices, humanity has come up with photovoltaic cells, commonly known as solar panels. Buthow...
Fuel cells generate electrical power quietly and efficiently, without pollution. Unlike power sources that use fossil fuels, the by-products from an operating fuel cell are heat and water. But how does it do this? Contents How Fuel Cells Work ...
In the present work, incomplete fusion is shown to be a promising tool to populate high spin states in final reaction products. For better insight into the onset and strength of incomplete fusion, the relative contributions of complete and incomplete fusion have been deduced from the analysis of...
