Laser induced fusion is a process that involves the fusion of two atomic nuclei at extremely high temperatures. Also known as inertial confinement fusion (ICF), it seeks to recreate the energy found in the sun to create energy on Earth. There are several synonyms for laser induced fusion, including nuclear fusion, atomic fusion, and thermonuclear fusion. These terms all refer to the process of combining two or more atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, releasing immense amounts of energy in the process. While laser induced fusion remains an area of active research and development, it has the potential to provide clean, reliable energy for years to come.
