| In the Sun, the process of thermonuclear fusion converts atoms of hydrogen into helium atoms, producing radiant energy. |
| Plasma physicists recently reported key advances towards sustained thermonuclear fusion in the laboratory. |
| We freely describe the thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen in the centers of stars as burning. |
| When in 1949-50, the Soviet Union made its first nuclear bomb test, Teller pushed for the thermonuclear bomb as part of the U.S. defense program. |
| Such events include thermonuclear reactions within the sun, interactions between cosmic rays and black-hole-creating star collapses. |
| Fusion bombs, also called thermonuclear bombs, have higher kiloton yields and greater efficiencies than fission bombs. |
