Scientists have made a “breakthrough" in handling nuclear fusion(聚变).The US Department of Energy officially announced the milestone in fusion energy research.For the first time, researchers created a nuclear fusion reaction that produced more energy than they put into the process. The experiment...

Nuclear fusion is an atomic reaction that fuels stars. In fusion, many nuclei (the centers of atoms) combine together to make a larger one (which is a different element). The result of this process is the release of a lot of energy (the resultant nucleus is smaller in mass than the su...
19.8: Nuclear Fusion The process of converting very light nuclei into heavier nuclei is also accompanied by the conversion of mass into large amounts of energy, a process called fusion. The principal source of energy in the sun is a net fusion reaction in which four hydrogen nuclei fuse and...
A U.S. lab has successfully sparked a fusion reaction that released more energy than went into it. But there’s still a long way to go toward fusion as a clean energy source.
(using fossil fuels) gives us every ounce of energy we use. The fusion in the sun takes place as hydrogen atoms are fused together due to the extreme pressure of gravity and extreme heat, to form helium. This reaction creates energy as a byproduct, the sunlight and the energy we need ...
The experiment, at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory,showed ignition: a fusion reaction generating more energy out than was put in. In addition, the past few years have been marked by amultibillion-dollar windfall of private investment in the field, principally in the United States. ...
We consider several nuclear fusion reactions that can take place at the center of the sun, which are omitted in the standard pp-chain model. More specifically the reaction rates of the nonradiative production of 3 He, 7 Be, and 8 B nuclei in triple collisions involving electrons are estimate...
Some research groups have proposed that the heat is supplied by radioactive decay or by a nuclear georeactor. Here we postulate that the generation of heat is the result of three-body nuclear fusion of deuterons confined in hexagonal FeDx core-centre crystals; the reaction rate is enhanced by...
The future of nuclear energy Research into nuclear energy is ongoing, especially into nuclearfusion: nuclear energy can also be released in a reaction that combines two atoms to form a larger atom. However, this reaction is much less controllable than a fission reaction.23 ...
