Nuclear fusion is the process in which two atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
Scientists are researching ways to achieve controlled nuclear fusion on Earth as a potentially limitless and clean source of energy.
The most promising approach to achieving nuclear fusion on Earth involves heating hydrogen isotopes to extremely high temperatures and confining them in a magnetic field in devices called tokamaks.
The challenge of achieving sustainable nuclear fusion on Earth lies in confining the high-temperature plasma required for fusion and sustaining the reaction in a controlled manner.
In processes such as nuclear fusion in stars neutrinos play a key role.
