  1. Fusion reactions in stars, the overall effect is a reduction in entropy as the system becomes more ordered through the formation of heavier nuclei.

  2. In inertial confinement, fusion is realized by focusing powerful lasers on a small Deuterium and tritium fuel pellet, which implodes and creates fusion conditions at its core. The recent breakthrough by NIF (National Ignition Facility) is that, for the first time, the output fusion energy was larger than the input laser energy.Dec 13, 2022 Deuterium–tritium fusion (sometimes abbreviated D+T) is a type of nuclear fusion in which one deuterium nucleus fuses with one tritium nucleus What happens when 192 of the world’s highest-energy lasers converge on a target the size of a peppercorn filled with hydrogen atoms? Answer: the same thing that happens inside the Sun and the stars: fusion! NIF’s laser beams can create nuclear fusion in the laboratory by generating the same kinds of temperatures and pressures that exist in the cores of stars and giant planets and inside nuclear weapons (see Anatomy of a NIF Shot).
