Quark fusion

A diagram illustrating the fusion process of two baryons, each of which contains one heavy quark and two light quarks. In fusion, all the quarks are repackaged in a more efficient way, thus creating a baryon containing two heavy quarks and one light quark, alongside a neutron containing three light quarks. In this process a large amount of energy is released. Credit: Prof. Mark Karliner.

A study published in Nature in which a MTA researcher is involved reveals a process 8 times more powerful than the fusion of hydrogen in an atomic bomb
