Fusion power
Topic
Fusion power is a proposed form of power generation that generates electricity by using heat from nuclear fusion reactions. In a fusion process, two lighter atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a significant amount of energy. This technology aims to provide a clean, abundant, and virtually limitless source of energy.
