text: Both methods compress the fuel so that fusion can take place.
text: These small devices are miniature particle accelerators filled with deuterium and tritium gas in an arrangement that allows ions of those nuclei to be accelerated against hydride targets, also containing deuterium and tritium, where fusion takes place, releasing a flux of neutrons.
text: Fusion takes place when two low-mass isotopes, typically isotopes of hydrogen, unite under conditions of extreme pressure and temperature.
text: Packham had even detected small amounts of tritium, a radioactive by-product virtually guaranteeing that fusion had taken place.
text: Instead of undertaking the delicate task of confining plasma inside a magnetic field, they aim to produce a controlled version of the fusion that takes place inside the sun or a hydrogen bomb, using lasers as the reaction's driver—a technique called inertial confinement fusion.
text: In stars, which are made of plasma, a high-energy state of matter in which negatively charged electrons are completely separated from positively charged nuclei, fusion takes place because of immense gravitational forces and extreme temperatures.
