Hydrogen Fusion

Hydrogen fusion is a nuclear process where hydrogen nuclei (protons) collide at extremely high temperatures and pressures, merging to form a new, heavier nucleus like helium. During this process, a tremendous amount of energy is released, which powers stars like our Sun. Fusion requires conditions so intense that protons can overcome their natural repulsion due to their positive charges. Achieving controlled fusion on Earth aims to provide a clean, abundant energy source, mimicking the Sun’s power generation. It’s a complex process but offers the potential for a sustainable way to produce electricity without harmful emissions.
