boron fusion

Boron fusion is a process where boron nuclei are combined with protons (hydrogen nuclei) at high energy, resulting in the production of three alpha particles (helium nuclei). This reaction releases a significant amount of energy and produces no radioactive waste, making it attractive for clean energy. Unlike traditional nuclear fusion (like in stars or tokamaks), boron fusion aims to achieve these reactions using advanced laser or magnetic confinement methods at comparatively lower temperatures. Though still under research, boron fusion promises a potentially safe and efficient way to generate electricity with minimal environmental impact.
