D-T (Deuterium-Tritium) fusion

D-T (Deuterium-Tritium) fusion is a process where two isotopes of hydrogen—deuterium and tritium—combine at extremely high temperatures, creating a heavier nucleus and releasing a large amount of energy. This reaction occurs naturally in stars, including the Sun, and on Earth it is a promising method for clean, virtually limitless energy. When deuterium and tritium fuse, they produce a helium nucleus, a neutron, and a significant burst of energy, which can be harnessed to generate electricity. Achieving D-T fusion requires overcoming enormous pressure and temperature barriers, making it a significant scientific and engineering challenge.
