In spring of 1989‚ two scientists by the name of Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann announced that they had found a way to create nuclear fusion in a relatively simple and cheap way. Superhot fusion is the process in which deuterium‚ a heavier form of hydrogen‚ is held within a magnetic field and heated to tens of millions of degrees. The nuclei of the atoms fuse‚ and heat energy is released. This kind of fusion happens in our solar system’s sun. This type of fusion is known to occur‚ but recreating
