When the nuclei are merged, the excess energy is released. Like fission, nuclear fusion can also transmute one element into another. For example, hydrogen nuclei fuse in stars to form the elementhelium. Fusion is also used to force together atomic nuclei to form the newest elements on the pe...
Nuclear fusion is the opposite process, in which two light nuclei merge to form a heavier one, yielding energy because the combination is lighter than the sum of its parts. Atoms heavier than iron can undergo fission, while lighter ones can fuse. Nuclear power stations generate energy from ...

每日一词：核裂变与核聚变揭示了两种能量释放机制。在核裂变中，如铀-235的案例，当一个大原子核分裂成两个较小的核，如铷和铯，多余的质量以核结合能的形式转化为能量。这个过程在核电站中被利用，比如远古时期加蓬奥克洛的自然核裂变现象。相反，核聚变则是轻原子核合并的过程，如在太阳核心，氢原...

heavier than iron absorbs energy. The opposite is true for the reverse process, nuclear fission. This means that fusion generally occurs for lighter elements only, and likewise, that fission normally occurs only for heavier elements. There are extreme astrophysical 天体物理学 events that can lead ...
If scientists can solve the remaining puzzle pieces behind these technologies, both nuclear fission and fusion are poised to have a big impact on the world’s energy reserves and green energy efforts in the coming decades. But before they do, let’s set the record straight on how these two...
Nuclear fission and fusion reactions 能源是人类生活中必不可少的一部分,但随着人类对能源需求的不断增长,且很多传统能源来源已经面临耗竭的局面,新能源的研究和开发变得日益重要。其中,核能作为一种高效、稳定的能源源占据了重要的地位。本文将从核裂变和核聚变两个方面介绍核能的来源和应用。
Nuclear Fission and Fusion Fission Fission means divided. When a heavy nucleus is bombarded by neutrons the strong nuclear force weakens, but the electric repulsion remains strong. A fast moving neutron collides with the atom and splits it into smaller fragments High levels of energy released (7...
