nuclear fusion
Sign in to savenuclear reaction in which atomic nuclei combine
AI overview
Nuclear fusion is a reaction where atomic nuclei combine together, releasing energy in the process. It matters because it's a potential source of clean, powerful energy that could help meet future energy needs without the radioactive waste that comes from nuclear fission.

Fusion plasma in China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak.
Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei combine to form a larger nucleus. The difference in mass between the reactants and products is manifested as either the release or the absorption of energy. This difference in mass arises as a result of the difference in nuclear binding energy between the atomic nuclei before and after the fusion reaction. Nuclear fusion is the process that powers all active stars, via many reaction pathways.
