CPEP Fusion, Physics of Fundamental Energy Charts

Visualize fusion and energy.

• Students will be able to compare the energy released in a variety of conversion processes, including combustion, fission and fusion

Developed by the Fusion and Plasmas Group of the Contemporary Physics Education Project (CPEP), Fusion presents up-to-date information on plasma physics and fusion reactions, examples of solar and terrestrial fusion reactions, explains how Einstein’s famous E=mc2 describes the process of fusion and offers illustrations of everyday and exotic plasmas.
