  Nuclear fusion is a kind of reaction in which two or more atoms collide to form a single mass along with the creation of sub atomic particles like protons and neutrons which releases an enormous amounts of energy. Initially, fusion technology was used to create hydrogen bombs by USSR and USA. All the stars are powered by fusion only. The hydrogen is utilised as fuel , hydrogen fuses to form helium atoms and the rest of the mass is converted into energy. If the hydrogen gas is heated to very high temperatures then it is converted to plasma in which its electron and positively charge nuclie separate out from each other.  Normally ,fusion not possible as the atoms can't come enough to fuse into a single nuclei due to repulsive electrostatic force out weighs the nuclear attractive force ( this force is effective for very small distance only). So, if we can create conditions in which the nuclie come very close to other to an extent where nuclear attractive force which binds the ...

Solid-state battery technology uses solid electrodes and electrolytes instead of liquid or polymer gel electrolytes which are found in lithium-ion or lithium-polymer batteries. Using the solid electrolyte,these batteries produce some solid performance gains over the lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries.  Firstly, a solid can be more stable than a liquid in the batteries. Thus solid-state batteries can operate at much higher temperatures. Therefore we can pump a lot more power into it while charging, decreasing its charging time. Whereas a lithium-ion or polymer battery is highly flammable because of which many times the mobile phones have blasted causing severe injuries and even death. You might have seen the power rating of your mobile charger and wonder why can't we increase it and charge it faster, it's due to its flammable property. Solid-state batteries are going to end this issue.  In lithium ion or polymer batteries , over time solid structure called dentrites are ...
