...talking about the wheels of a car, after all. We are talking about a gigantic cosmic wheel, like a spiral galaxy, an enormous wheel that once it starts to turn -- then everybody, including those who turn in it, becomes a helpless atom. A gigantic process that you can't stop once it has started. And I used the knots for the following reason: I started to deal with the period 1914-22. If I were to rewrite in detail about the period 1914-22, the volume would be too great, so I reached for episodes where I thought the course...
Fusion occurs when two small atoms combine to form a larger atom, releasing energy. The Utah researchers reported that when they ran an electric current through a flask containing heavy water and palladium, a sharp increase in water temperature occurred. The pair claimed that atoms of deuterium (a form of hydrogen found in heavy water) entered the palladium and fused together into helium atoms...
Fusion, the nuclear reaction that powers the sun, occurs when the nuclei of two small atoms join together to form a larger atom, releasing energy and neutrons. Scientists had believed fusion possible only under great temperatures and pressures until the Utah researchers announced they had produced it at room temperature...
Fusion is a nuclear reaction which joins two smaller atoms together into a larger atom, releasing great quantities of energy...
...type of atom most common in fusion reactions is a form of hydrogen called deuterium. Although most hydrogen nuclei consist of just a positively charged proton, deuterium also contains an uncharged particle called a neutron...
