Fusion Ignition – A Fuel of the Future?

Fusion

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which atoms are combined to form larger atomic nuclei or subatomic particles. These atoms overcome the electrical resistance which keeps them apart. They get close enough to activate a force known as the strong nuclear force. This strong nuclear force allows the atoms to
