English - English
The combining of the nuclei of small atoms to form the nuclei of larger ones, with a resulting release of large quantities of energy; the process that makes the sun shine, and hydrogen bomb explode
The nuclear process whereby several small nuclei are combined to make a larger one whose mass is slightly smaller than the sum of the small ones Nuclear fusion is the reaction that fuels the Sun, where hydrogen nuclei are fused to form helium
a process in which substances fuse to from new substances and releasing large amounts of heat and light energy
The forming of a heavier atomic nucleus by joining lighter nuclei After the fusion, the resulting nucleus has a slightly lower mass than the sum of the masses of the nuclei that formed it That mass deficit appears in the form of energy according to the famous equation E = mc², where E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light The amount of energy released is enormous and is the primary source of energy in the center of stars It is also the source of energy for fusion (hydrogen) bombs, which can use the much less powerful fission (atomic) bombs as a detonator
action in which two light nuclei join into one stable nucleus which is lighter than the total of the two and therefore emits energy
A process in which two smaller atomic nuclei fuse into one larger nucleus and release energy; the source of power in a hydrogen bomb
The process by which two nuclei collide and coalesce to form a single, heavier nucleus
A nuclear process in which 2 or more elements, such as hydrogen, collide and fuse together to make a heavier element, such as helium, to produce a large amount of energy This power source is non-polluting, very efficient, and fuel is extremely broad and plentiful SeaQuest's fusion reactor is its primary source of power This power source only exists today as large experimental reactors in physics labs
a nuclear reaction in which the nuclei (=central parts) of atoms join together, which produces power without producing any waste. Process by which nuclear reactions between light elements form heavier ones, releasing huge amounts of energy. In 1939 Hans Bethe suggested that the energy output of the sun and other stars is a result of fusion reactions among hydrogen nuclei. In the early 1950s American scientists produced the hydrogen bomb by inducing fusion reactions in a mixture of the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium, forming a heavier helium nucleus. Though fusion is common in the sun and other stars, it is difficult to produce artificially and is very difficult to control. If controlled nuclear fusion is achieved, it might provide an inexpensive energy source because the primary fuel, deuterium, can be extracted from ordinary water, and eight gallons of water could provide the energy equivalent to 2,500 gallons of gasoline
a nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy
The combination of the nuclei of certain extremely light elements, especially hydrogen, effected by the application of high temperature and pressure Nuclear fusion causes the release of an enormous amount of heat energy, comparable to that released by nuclear fission The principal by product of nuclear fusion is helium
Atomic nuclear processes which involve the fusing of nuclei with an accompanying release of energy
The fusion of light atomic nuclei sets the binding energy free For this purpose, the atomic nuclei, despite of their electric repulsion, must be brought so close together that they nearly touch This requires an energy of several MeV (million electron volt) Nuclear fusion therefore a very high temperature of the plasma
The combining of nuclei of light atoms, such as hydrogen, into heavier nuclei accompanied by the release of much energy
The process in which light nuclei fuse together to make one heavier nucleus, releasing energy as they do so
The process in which atoms combine to create larger atoms and massive amounts of energy
A process where atoms are joined and tremendous amounts of energy are released O ORBIT The path followed by an object in space as it goes around another object; to travel around another object in a single path P PARTICLE A very, very tiny piece of matter such as an electron, proton, or neutron found inside of an atom
A nuclear process whereby several small nuclei are combined to make a larger one whose mass is slightly smaller than the sum of the small ones The difference in mass is converted to energy by Einstein's famous equivalence E=mc2 This is the source of the Sun's energy and, ultimately, of (almost) all energy on Earth
the process used by stars to generate energy: less-massive nuclei are fused together under extremely high temperatures and densities to form more-massive nuclei plus some energy The energy comes from the transformation of some of the mass into energy
A nuclear process whereby several small nuclei are combined to make a larger one whose mass is slightly smaller than the sum of the small ones; the difference in mass is converted to energy by Einstein's famous equivalence E=mc^2; this is the source of the Sun's energy and therefore ultimately of (almost) all energy on Earth
