Fúzní energie, or fusion energy, refers to the energy released during nuclear fusion, the process where two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a significant amount of energy in the process. This reaction powers stars, including the sun, where hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium under immense temperature and pressure. The energy produced in fusion is a result of the conversion of mass into energy, as described by Einstein's equation E=mc².Fusion energy is considered a potential source of power for future energy systems due to its ability to generate large amounts of energy with minimal environmental impact, as it produces no greenhouse gas emissions and generates significantly less radioactive waste compared to nuclear fission. However, achieving controlled nuclear fusion on Earth as a practical energy source has been a significant scientific and engineering challenge, and as of now, it remains an area of active research with various experimental projects like ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) aiming to make fusion a viable energy source.
