The difference in mass is released as energy. If you\u2019ve sat through basic chemistry, you\u2019ll know that atoms contains electrons, protons and neutrons. Two of these are charged \u2014 they act through electromagnetic forces to repel or attract each other.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/toughsf.blogspot.ie\/2016\/06\/gun-fusion-two-barrels-to-stars.html\">https:\/\/toughsf.blogspot.ie\/2016\/06\/gun-fusion-two-barrels-to-stars.html<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To start a fusion reaction, you have to create extreme conditions.
