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

What Will A Nuclear Blast Do To Your Body?

Hopefully, we won't see a nuclear war ever again. But what would happen if you were caught near a nuke? Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/LifeNoggin Follow Life Noggin! Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LifeNoggin/?ref=br_rs Instagram: https://instagram.com/lifenoggin/ Twitter: ht

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

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

Characteristics of the Sun

Our Sun is an ordinary star — just one of billions of stars in our galaxy alone. However, as our own star, the Sun holds special status for us and is essential to our existence. The Sun's gravity holds the solar system together, and nuclear fusion within the Sun supplies the energy for life on Earth

The Electromagnetic Spectrum

In this video from NOVA’s Sun Lab, examine how scientists use electromagnetic radiation to learn about the Sun. The process of nuclear fusion in the core of the Sun produces energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, or light. The wavelength of photons (particles that carry electromagnetic ene
