It is unclear whether this will work, but there are possibilities.

One way to do this is to create so-called light wells, where interference in the light waves can trap atoms. The atoms are then moved by adjusting the light waves, possibly causing them to fuse. The technical problems with doing this are very great, and there is a significant probability it will not happen.

There may be other ways of using lasers for controlled nuclear fusion.

What other isotope besides tellurium-137 is produced by nuclear fusion of uranium-235?

Besides tellurium-137, another isotope produced by the nuclear fusion of uranium-235 is xenon-135. During the fission process, uranium-235 can absorb neutrons and undergo various decay pathways, leading to the formation of different isotopes, including xenon and tellurium isotopes. These fission products play significant roles in nuclear reactions and the management of nuclear waste.


How is the production of electricity by fission better than nuclear fusion?

In principle fusion should be better for the environment because it does not produce the active fission products. The snag is that it has not been made to work yet, and won't be for many years to come, so as a practical way of producing electricity it does not come into play, and we have to say fission is better than a non-existent fusion


Does the combination of the sun's heat and pressure cause nuclear fusion?

Yes, the higher the heat and pressure the heaver the elements that can be fused (until nickel & iron are the products, then no additional amount of heat and pressure can cause more fusion).


What is the significance of pores present on nuclear memberane?

Pores in the nuclear membrane allow for the controlled passage of molecules such as proteins and RNA into and out of the nucleus. They play a crucial role in regulating the transport of substances between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, allowing for essential cellular processes like gene expression and protein synthesis to occur efficiently.


What is the significance of the very heavy elements found in your sun and the earth?

The heavy elements found in the Sun and Earth were created through nuclear fusion processes in the cores of stars. These elements play a crucial role in the formation of planets and life as we know it. Studying them helps scientists understand the origin and evolution of our solar system.

Three properties of stars?

Stars are massive, luminous celestial bodies that emit heat and light through nuclear fusion in their cores. Stars come in various sizes, colors, and temperatures, which determine their place on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. Stars play a crucial role in the universe, as they are responsible for generating and dispersing heavy elements through processes like supernovae.


What is a true statement about neutrons?

Neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons. They have no electric charge, and their presence helps stabilize the nucleus of the atom. Neutrons play a crucial role in nuclear reactions and are essential for the formation of elements in stars through processes like nuclear fusion.


How do you you use the fusion gate.....can you get the fusion materials from the deck and out them from play?

Fusion Gate means you can fuse monsters without using Polymerization, by removing the components from play. It does not otherwise modify the usual Fusion Summon rules, that the components must either be in your hand or on your side of the field.


Is thermal physics related to nuclear power?

Nuclear fusion produces energy because the binding energy of the nucleons in the resulting nucleus is greater than in the starting nuclei. The same happens when a heavy nucleus, U235 or Pu239 for example, splits up. These are both examples of nuclear energy, but as we have not yet learned how to use fusion for power production, useful nuclear energy on earth is only available from fission.
