two atomic nuclei fuse together to form a heavier nucleus

In physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fusion is the process by which multiple- like charged atomic nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus

accompanied by the release or absorption of energy. Iron and nickel nuclei have the largest binding energies per nucleon of all nuclei

of two nuclei with lower mass than iron generally releases energy while the fusion of nuclei heavier than iron absorbs energy

Science or Fiction - Is there a Future for Nuclear?

Nuclear fusion reactions

Chaos could keep fusion under control

International Fusion Research and Prototype reactor

JET

The proton-proton chain dominates in stars the size of the Sun or smaller

The only fusion reactions thus far produced by humans to achieve ignition are those which have been created in hydrogen bombs

occurs naturally in stars

vice-versa for the reverse process, nuclear fission

The electrostatic force caused by positively charged nuclei is very strong over long distances, but at short distances the nuclear force is stronger

The CNO cycle dominates in stars heavier than the Sun

The fusion reaction rate increases rapidly with temperature until it maximizes and then gradually drops off

reactions power the stars and produce all but the lightest elements in a process called nucleosynthesis

A substantial energy barrier of electrostatic forces must be overcome before fusion can occur

The most important fusion process in nature is that which powers the stars
