When deuterium and tritium fuse together to form an atom of helium, a neutron, and a bunch of energy, why does most of the energy go with the neutron? Why is uranium-235 used instead of uranium-238 in nuclear reactors? Why don't prototype fusion reactors utilize quantum tunneling?
One such quantum effect is quantum tunneling. In quantum tunneling an electron sits in two neighboring circuits at once, and decides randomly to which of these two locations it will go next. If this would happen at a larger scale, it would be like charging your phone right next to your TV...
Why don't prototype fusion reactors utilize quantum tunneling? What is the Higgs boson particle made of? What are the parts of a particle accelerator? Does a particle accelerator use dark matter? Why was the Superconducting Super Collider canceled? Why don't charged particles glow? What particle...
