Unraveling the role of fusion in the universe has taken almost a century since Einstein's proof of the equivalence of energy and matter in 1905. The discovery that fusion reactions are responsible for the building of the light elements in the'Big Ban

Publisher Summary This chapter refers to the first experiment of many scientists on Magnetic Confinement. With most developments in science, many people had similar thoughts during the same period, so it is very tough to give credit to any particular

This chapter discusses the inertial-confinement route to controlled-fusion energy which is based on the same general principle as that used in the hydrogen bomb—fuel is compressed and heated so quickly that it reaches the conditions for fusion and

Publisher Summary A team of British scientists was invited to go to Moscow the following year to measure the temperature with a new technique based on lasers. When these results were published, even the most skeptical fusion researchers were convince

This chapter begins by providing a background on the making of the hydrogen bomb. Some isotopes of uranium and plutonium have nuclei that are so close to being unstable that they fragment and release energy when bombarded with neutrons. A fission cha

The chapter talks about studies of fusion power plants, and how they were developed. Studies of fusion power plants based on magnetic confinement started as early as 1946, with George Thomson's patent application. A few years later, Andrei Sakharov i
