Fusion is the dominant source of energy for stars in the universe. It is also a potential energy source on Earth, if scientists can figure out how to get more energy out of the reaction than it requires to initiate it. When set off in an intentionally uncontrolled chain reaction, nuclear ...
Fusion energy science is a multi-disciplinary field focused on the science needed to develop an energy source based on a controlledthermonuclear fusion reaction. Fusion occurs when two nuclei combine to form a new nucleus. This process occurs in our Sun and other stars. Creating conditions for fu...

What About Fusion Energy? - ScienceDirectJohn SheffieldFun in Fusion Research
Organisms that reproduce sexually must create cells called gametes that are haploid. When a male and female's gametes fuse together to form a diploid zygote, that zygote will grow into the offspring of those parents. Scientists define fusion of gametes t
Since then, thenuclear reactionsin the life and death of stars have formed most of the other nuclei in the universe. Stars can create nuclei through two processes: either by combining two smaller nuclei (called fusion) or breaking a larger nucleus into multiple nuclei (called fission). Both ...
claims to be the largest fusion power experiment in the world. located near oxford, england, jet is a monument to big science, its donut-shaped containment vessel dwarfing maintenance workers who enter it in protective suits. here in this gleaming nuclear cauldron, deuterium gas is energized ...
During the five years I spent at ITER I discovered that people visiting ITER, despite very different origins and backgrounds, have one thing in common: the vast majority of them confuse nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. However, the difference between fusion and fission is indeed fundamental. ...
In fusion, two atomic nuclei are combined to create a heavier nucleus, and the process releases energy. The reaction takes place in a state of matter called plasma, which is distinct from liquids, solids or gasses. In the sun, nuclei collide at hot enough temperatures to overcome the electri...
What is Data Intensive Science? Today we are living in a digital world, where scientists often no longer interact directly with the physical object of their research, but do so via digitally captured, reduced, calibrated, analyzed, synthesized and, at times, visualized data. Advances in experimen...
