Nuclear fusion
OverviewArtificial fusionHistoryProcessIn starsRequirementsConfinement in thermonuclear fusionImportant reactions
Thermonuclear fusion is the process of atomic nuclei combining or "fusing" using high temperatures to drive them close enough together for this to become possible. Such temperatures cause the matter to become a plasma and, if confined, fusion reactions may occur due to collisions with extreme thermal kinetic energies of the particles. There are two forms of thermonuclear fusion: …
