Nuclear Fusion vs Fission: Key Differences Explained #3805840 (License: Personal Use)

On the left, fusion shows two light atomic nuclei (e.g., hydrogen isotopes) colliding to form a heavier nucleus with a burst of energy. On the right, fission depicts a heavy nucleus (like uranium-235) splitting into smaller fragments, releasing neutrons and energy. The cartoon-style image uses clear visual metaphors to differentiate these fundamental nuclear processes.

Used in educational web pages, physics lesson plans, or science outreach content to introduce nuclear energy concepts; targets students, teachers, and curious learners seeking foundational knowledge.
