Fission and Fusion

Fission and fusion are fundamental processes in nuclear physics, each playing a distinct role in the release of energy. Fission involves the splitting of atomic nuclei, generating substantial energy and is commonly employed in nuclear power plants. On the other hand, fusion combines atomic nuclei, a phenomenon observed in the sun, producing even greater energy potential. Both processes have profound implications for energy production and have been subjects of extensive scientific exploration, contributing to our understanding of the universe and offering unique possibilities for harnessing power on Earth.
