Artwork of nuclear fusion reaction
Conceptual image representing the process of nuclear fusion, specifically the creation of helium from hydrogen. Four protons (hydrogen nuclei) are combining on the left, releasing in the process two protons and two neutrons (a helium nucleus). The sum of the masses of the neutron and protons is less than that of the original four protons. The missing mass is converted to energy, which we see in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This is the power behind the Suns brilliant glow. In practice, the conversion of hydrogen into helium is more complicated than this, and undergoes several stages between the two shown here

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Mark Garlick beautifully captures the intricate process of nuclear fusion, specifically the creation of helium from hydrogen. The image depicts four protons, or hydrogen nuclei, combining on the left side. As a result of this fusion reaction, two protons and two neutrons are released to form a helium nucleus. What makes this phenomenon truly fascinating is that the sum of the masses of these particles is actually less than that of the original four protons. This missing mass is converted into an incredible amount of energy, which we can witness in the form of electromagnetic radiation. It is this very energy conversion that powers our Sun's brilliant glow and sustains life on Earth. While this conceptual image simplifies the complex process involved in converting hydrogen into helium, it serves as a reminder that nuclear fusion undergoes several stages between what is shown here. In reality, it involves numerous intricate steps before reaching its final stage. Garlick's artwork not only showcases his artistic talent but also highlights the beauty and power behind one of nature's most awe-inspiring phenomena - nuclear fusion. Through his illustration, he brings together elements such as stars, power, mass conversion, and electromagnetic radiation to create an impactful visual representation of this fundamental process in physics.
