Nuclei of small atoms fuse together to form nuclei of larger atoms. The process can continue to form larger atoms until, after iron, the fusion is no longer exothermic and so absorbs energy.

Does a MRI machine use nuclear fusion or fission?

it uses nuclear fusion-I don't think so!! It uses electrical energy to move the magnetic fields around in order to scan the subject. Nuclear fusion is not used for any purpose on earth except H-bombs


How nuclear fusion in a main sequence is different from nuclear fusion in a giant star?

Nuclear Fusion in a Giant Star involves Helium being fused into a hydrogen shell that surrounds the core, and Nuclear Fusion in a Main-Sequence star involves Hydrogen being fused into Helium to produce Energy inside of the core.

What creates gases and other elements?

The element hydrogen condensed out of the energetic subatomic particles that resulted from the Big Bang, and other elements were subsequently produced out of hydrogen, by the process of nuclear fusion, that takes place inside stars.
