What is Nuclear fusion?
In nuclear physics, nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei collide at a very high speed and join to form a new type of atomic nucleus. During this process, mass is not conserved because some of the mass of the fusing nuclei is converted to photons(energy). Fusion is the process that powers active or “main sequence” stars. The…
