For a given mass of fuel, a fusion reaction like yields several times more energy than a fission reaction. This is clear from the curve given in Fig. 15...

Nuclear Physics Nuclear fusion and fission are the processes by which the nucleus of an atom gains (fusion) or loses (fission) protons, transforming into...

Nuclear Fusion Physics and Technology deals with nuclear fusion in tokamaks. This plasma devices may generate clean energy one day, thus heavy research...

Nuclear fusion is the joining together of atomic nuclei to form a larger nucleus, and possibly some other products, including energy. It occurs naturally...

fission, radiation and nuclear fusion. Today, the nuclear fission of actinide elements in the periodic table produces most of the nuclear energy needed by humans...

has a BEPN of 8.8 MeV. Nuclear fusion occurs when smaller nuclei join or fuse to produce heavier nuclei. As a result of the fusion reaction, the resulting...

basic concepts of radioactivity, nuclear equations and the processes involved in nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. The actual discovery of radioactivity...

reactions, namely, fission and fusion reactions. Fission is a break up of a nucleus in two or more pieces (smaller nuclei). Fusion is the opposite process:...

pressure is great enough to heat the gases and cause nuclear fusion reactions. In a nuclear fusion reaction, the nuclei, or centers of two atoms join together...

particles. This has also helped us to understand the nuclear processes such as fission and fusion. Near the end of the 19th century, it was widely accepted...

sometimes referred to as thermonuclear fusion. "Thermo" because it occurs only at very high temperatures, and "nuclear" because unlike everyday energy processes...

Cold fusion, a hypothesized phenomenon, contrasts with nuclear fusion in that it would be self-sustained at room temperature. Scientists first began hypothesizing...

weapons and nuclear power. The sun, however, emits its energy due to nuclear fusion, the generation of atoms with increasing atomic mass. Fred Hoyle was...

the results of nuclear equations. Transmuation also occurs when atoms of one element change into atoms of another element during fusion reactions, or during...

chemical reactions do. So nuclear energy sources are potentially very powerful. Although the Sun operates by nuclear fusion, we consider it a source of...

entire universe behaved as a giant nuclear fusion reactor burning hydrogen. This burning took place via a chain of nuclear reactions, which is called the...

yet unknown nuclear forces, which are stronger than the electromagnetic ones. Further studies proved that this hypothesis was correct. Nuclear force has...

out into space. In the Sun's core, nuclear fusion reactions generate energy by converting hydrogen to helium. Fusion is a process where the nuclei of atoms...
