Caption:
Fusion ignition. Infographic illustration depicting the science of fusion ignition. Nuclear fusion combines two atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus. This results in the release of a large amount of energy. Fusion ignition is the term for a fusion reaction that produces more energy than it takes to create it. The National Ignition Facility (NIF) in the US is capable of achieving a small yield using nuclear ignition.
