Introducing nuclear fusion

Nuclear fusion, also known as nuclear fusion, fusion reaction, fusion reaction, or thermonuclear reaction. A nucleus refers to a small-mass atom, mainly deuterium. Under certain conditions (such as ultra-high temperature and high pressure), the electrons outside the nucleus can get rid of the nucleus of the nucleus only under extremely high temperature and pressure, so that two atomic nuclei can Attracting each other and colliding together, the nucleus polymerizes to generate a new heavier nucleus (such as helium). Although the neutron has a larger mass, it can escape the nucleus during this collision because it is not charged. The release of a large number of electrons and neutrons is a huge energy release. This is a form of nuclear reaction. There is huge energy in the nucleus, and the change of the nucleus (from one kind of nucleus to another kind of nucleus) is often accompanied by the release of energy. Nuclear fusion is the opposite form of nuclear reaction to nuclear fission. Scientists are working on controlled nuclear fusion, which may become a future energy source.
