Its two sources of fuel, hydrogen and lithium, are widely available in many parts of the Earth. What’s the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion? Both are nuclear processes, in that ...

Fermi, among others, realized that nuclear fission was accompanied by the release of colossal amounts of energy from the conversion of mass into energy (according to Einstein's mass-energy ...
