Fusion Energy Sciences

Fusion energy sciences study the processes that power the sun and stars, aiming to replicate them on Earth. At its core, fusion involves combining light atomic nuclei, like hydrogen, to form heavier ones, releasing vast amounts of energy. This process has the potential to provide a nearly limitless, clean energy source, as it produces minimal waste and doesn’t emit greenhouse gases. Researchers explore various techniques, such as magnetic confinement in tokamaks, to achieve and sustain the extreme conditions required for fusion. Successful development could revolutionize energy production, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and enhancing energy security.
