Illustration conceptualising nuclear fusion (top) and fission (bottom). In fusion, two or more particles collide to form a more massive product - in this case, deuterium and tritium combine to make helium with the emission of a neutron. This is how stars make their energy. In fission, a more massive nucleon disintegrates into two smaller products. | |
