Nuclear fusion occurs inside the core of stars because that is the region with the highest temperature. For fusion to begin, a star's core must reach 15 million degrees Celsius, or 27 million ...

Fusion is the process that powers the sun and the stars. It's the opposite of nuclear fission, the process used in today's nuclear power plants, which splits atoms apart.
Sustained 'Artificial Sun' Promised by 2026 in Fusion Energy Upgrade Published Jan 02, 2024 at 7:43 AM EST Updated Jan 02, 2024 at 2:03 PM EST ...
The keys to harnessing fusion power—a clean, almost limitless supply of energy—sit in the heart of the sun. The only way we can access that heart is by listening to the sun’s heartbeat. To ...
The amount of energy released in a nuclear fusion reaction can be many times that of a chemical reaction. Fusion is also carbon-free, which is why it is sometimes labeled as the “holy grail ...
Nuclear fusion and plasma physics research are carried out in more than 50 countries, and recently researchers have finally achieved scientific energy gain in a fusion experiment for the first ...
Despite the recent breakthrough, commercially viable nuclear fusion is only infinitesimally closer than it was back in the 1980s when a contained fusion reaction – i.e. not occurring in the ...
Nuclear fusion powers our sun and all other stars. In it, light nuclei of hydrogen fuse into heavier nuclei of helium and generate tremendous amounts of energy.
