Nuclear Fusion in the Sun

A constant fire burns in the Sun, powered by nuclear fusion. In this process, light atomic nuclei fuse to form heavier chemical elements. This process releases an enormous amount of energy.

Nuclear War

It’s hard to picture how the effects of a modern-day nuclear attack would be, but any nuclear strike would unleash suffering on a scale not seen before. Our video explains what we can expect to happen in a nuclear attack. #nuclear #nuclearattack #nuclearwar Transcript: alugha Click here to see mor

How does a fusion plant work?

Generating energy from the fusion of two atomic nuclei is a long-cherished dream of science. Researchers in Greifswald have come a lot closer to achieving it. The raw materials needed are found in water and rocks. Author: 3sat/nano/Vision Control/Juliane Helm/Thomas Thönnes/O-Sound source: Prof. Dr

The Sun's Energy

In this video from NOVA’s Sun Lab, explore nuclear fusion and the balance of energy in the Sun. Intense heat and pressure in the Sun’s core cause protons to fuse together to form helium atoms, a process that releases large amounts of energy. This nuclear reaction—the same process that takes place in

What is a Sievert? | Andrew Maynard | Risk Bites

What is a Sievert, and why are they used to measure radiation exposure? Although we're exposed to ionizing radiation all the time, high levels can cause illness, disease, and even death. Yet working out how much radiation leads to specific health outcomes is complicated by the fact that different t

The Elements: Forged in Stars

Fusion, which occurs when atomic nuclei combine to form new elements, is extremely powerful. All the stars in the universe, including the Sun, are nuclear furnaces fueled by fusion. Through fusion, stars are responsible for forming all the naturally occurring elements heavier than hydrogen and heliu
